rdfpandas 1.1.0

RDF support for Pandas

RdfPandas is a module providing RDF support for Pandas. It consists of two simple functions for Graph to DataFrame conversion and DataFrame to Graph conversion.

Getting Started

For more information about Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Pandas see:

• RDF: https://www.w3.org/RDF/

• Pandas: https://pandas.pydata.org/

Prerequisites

You will need Python 3 to use Pandas and RdfPandas.

Installation

pip install rdfpandas

Usage

Creating RDF from DataFrame

As of version 1.1.0 NamespaceManager can be supplied to rdflib.to_graph for conversion to Graph.

import rdfpandas.graph
import pandas as pd
import rdflib

df = pd.read_csv('to_graph_test.csv', index_col = '@id', keep_default_na = False)
namespace_manager = NamespaceManager(Graph())
namespace_manager.bind('skos', SKOS)
namespace_manager.bind('rdfpandas', Namespace('http://github.com/cadmiumkitty/rdfpandas/'))
g = to_graph(df, namespace_manager)
s = g.serialize(format = 'turtle')

Creating DataFrame from RDF

import rdfpandas.graph
import pandas as pd
import rdflib

g = rdflib.Graph()
g.parse('to_df_test.ttl', format = 'ttl')
df = to_dataframe(g)
df.to_csv('test.csv', index = True, index_label = "@id")

Gotchas

No special effort is made for dealing with types, so please be aware of Pandas features such as https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/gotchas.html#support-for-integer-na that may result in surprising RDF statements like "10.0"^^<xsd:integer>.
