Run as command-line tool

The basic configuration for the Python port can be run with the following command:

triplifier -c triplifier.yaml

The YAML configuration file contains the database connection information using SQLAlchemy style URLs.

SQLite database file

db:
  url: sqlite:///my.db
  user: user
  password: pass

Postgres database file

db:
  url: "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/my_database"

Optional arguments

By default, the tool will generate an ontology file (ontology.owl) and a turtle file containing the materialized triples (output.ttl) relative to the execution folder. To change this, the following additional arguments can be used:

• -o <output_path_for_materialized_triples_file>
• -t <output_path_for_ontology_file>
• -c <configuration_file>
• -b <base_uri_for_ontology>
• --ontologyAndOrData <ontology|data>

The --ontologyAndOrData option allows running only the ontology extraction (ontology) or only the data materialization (data) given an ontology file. If omitted, both steps are executed.
