ntriples-collection

Utility methods for filtering n-triples

Assumptions:

• You are using node.js n3
• You are filtering small arrays of triples.
• You are mostly interested in the object value.

Install

npm i -D ntriples-collection

Usage

import { readNTriplesFile,
   writeNTriplesFile,
   findObjectByPredicate,
   findLocalizedObjectByPredicate,
   findObjectsByPredicate,
  } from "ntriples-collection"

Functions

readNTriplesFile(filename, function)

Reads a n-triples file and converts it to an array of triples

writeNTriplesFile(filename, triples, function)

Saves an array of triples in a n-triples file

findObjectByPredicate(triples, predicate, defaultValue) ⇒ string

Finds the first object value based on the predicate

findLocalizedObjectByPredicate(triples, predicate, language, altLangs, defaultValue) ⇒ string

Finds the first object value based on the predicate and the language

findObjectsByPredicate(triples, predicate) ⇒ array

Finds all object values based on the predicate

readNTriplesFile(filename, function)

Reads a n-triples file and converts it to an array of triples

Kind: global function

Example

// [
{ graph: "",
object: '"Flower corp"@en',
predicate: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/publisher',
subject: 'http://www.site.org/version/123/'
},
]
readNTriplesFile('flowers.nt', (err, triples) => {
 console.log(triples);
});

writeNTriplesFile(filename, triples, function)

Saves an array of triples in a n-triples file

Kind: global function

Example

// {count: 1}
 const triples = [
{ graph: "",
object: '"Flower corp"@en',
predicate: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/publisher',
subject: 'http://www.site.org/version/123/'
},
]
writeNTriplesFile('flowers.nt', triples, (err, triples) => {
 console.log(triples);
});

findObjectByPredicate(triples, predicate, defaultValue) ⇒ string

Finds the first object value based on the predicate

Kind: global function
Returns: string - the string, integer, float, boolean, moment representing the literal value

Example

// returns Amadeus
findObjectByPredicate(triples, 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator')

findLocalizedObjectByPredicate(triples, predicate, language, altLangs, defaultValue) ⇒ string

Finds the first object value based on the predicate and the language

Kind: global function
Returns: string - the string, integer, float, boolean, moment representing the literal value

Example

// returns Amadeus
findLocalizedObjectByPredicate(triples, 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator', 'fr', ['en'])

findObjectsByPredicate(triples, predicate) ⇒ array

Finds all object values based on the predicate

Kind: global function
Returns: array - of string, integer, float, boolean, moment representing the literal values

Example

// returns [Amadeus, Bach]
findObjectsByPredicate(triples, 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator')
