rdfhelpers 0.7.8

Useful stuff when programming with RDFLib

RDF Helpers

This is a python package that contains all kinds of useful functionality when building RDF applications with RDFLib:

• Various ways to manipulate RDF graphs (shortcuts, really)
• Predefined graph transformations (e.g., containers --> repeated properties)
• Templated queries (substitution not limited to RDF terms like in RDFLib with initBindings)
• Templated graph creation (based on SPARQL CONSTRUCT)
• Journaled graphs
• Label caching
• etc.

Available to install from PyPI. Documentation can be found here.

Changes in the 0.7.x release

Main theme: we folded rdfproducers into this.

Changes:

• All old code moved into subpackage rdfhelpers.core.
  • rdfhelpers.rdfhelpers is now rdfhelpers.core.basics.
• New subpackage rdfhelpers.experimental.
  • Class Constructor is not necessarily stable yet, so rdfhelpers.constructor became rdfhelpers.experimental.constructor, and the class does not get exported in the top level.
• Added more typing annotations.
• Attempting to call Composable.validate() without pyshacl being installed now raises an exception (earlier it merely logged a warning).
• Added methods to Composable to bring it closer to the rdflib.Graph class.
• New package rdfhelpers.producers.
