rdf-cty-ccy 0.1.6

Provides the FIBO and OMG Country and Currency Ontology in a queryable form.

RDF Country and Currency Graph Library

This library builds an RDF graph of country and currency codes based on the following ontologies:

• https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/
• https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Accounting/ISO4217-CurrencyCodes/

Both of these graphs are in Turtle format and are used extensively in the FIBO ontologies

The Library is designed to support querying these triples in 3 modes:

• Using the Python RDFLib library. The graph is queried using the RDFLib triples mode. Returns RDF triples.
• Using a SPARQL query. Returns an RDFLib SPARQL result.
• Via an OO query approach, which returns country and currency objects.

Building

The TTL files are extracted from the ontology locations (FIBO and OMG) and written to rdf_cty_ccy/rdfdata. To re-get and re-build the ttl files, run the Makefile.

The Country and Currency ontologies are sourced from the following locations:

• Currency Codes
• Country Codes

make build_cty_ccy_onto

Usage

RDFLib Triples Mode

The triples are read into an inmemory RDFLib graph. Therefore, using the rdflib.triples query format is supported.

The module rdf_cty_ccy.graph.rdf_prefix provides shorthand prefixes for the various RDF prefixes using in the ontologies.

fibo_fnd_acc_cur = Namespace('https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Accounting/CurrencyAmount/')
fibo_fnd_acc_4217 = Namespace('https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Accounting/ISO4217-CurrencyCodes/')
fibo_fnd_utl_av = Namespace("https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Utilities/AnnotationVocabulary/")
lcc_3166_1 = Namespace('https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/')
lcc_cr = Namespace('https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/CountryRepresentation/')
lcc_lr = Namespace("https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Languages/LanguageRepresentation/")

Therefore rdf_prefix.lcc_3166_1.NZL is equivalent to the URI https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/NZL

The RDFLib triples query produces a list of RDF triples which match the triples provided. (See the docs at rdflib)[https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro_to_graphs.html#basic-triple-matching].

from rdf_cty_ccy.graph import graph, graph_query
from rdf_cty_ccy.graph import rdf_prefix as P

result = graph_query.query((None, P.lcc_lr.hasTag, Literal("NZL", datatype=XSD.string)))

s, _, _ = result[0]

s == P.lcc_3166_1.NZL

SPARQL Mode

Python Objects Mode

The graph can be queried using a python API interface; from the module rdf_cty_ccy.query.query. It returns a Country object which has the following properties (note that URIRef and Literal comes from RDFLib:

• country_uri: URIRef
• identifies: URIRef
• label: Literal
• currency: Currency:
  • currency_uri: URIRef
  • identifies: URIRef
  • label: Literal

from rdf_cty_ccy.query import query as Q

country = Q.by_country_code(code='NZL')

country.country_uri             # => rdflib.term.URIRef('https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/NZL')
str(country.country_uri)        # => 'https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/NZL'

Provide the currency filter to obtain the currency properties for the country.

country = Q.by_country_code(code='NZL', filters=[Q.Filter.WithCurrency])

country.currency.currency_uri   # => rdflib.term.URIRef('https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Accounting/ISO4217-CurrencyCodes/NZD')

You can also query by the country URI (as a string) as follow:

country = Q.by_country_uri(uri='https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/NZL')
