HuCit Knowledge Base
Status
NB: hucitlib is currently being ported from Python 2 to 3. For legacy-related
reasons, the version available on PyPi (hucitlib 0.2.9) still supports only Python 2.
If you need Python 3 support you may want to install version 0.3.0 available in the issue-3/py3 branch (you will need to install
it from sources as it currently requires a forked version of surf, since the official surf does not support Python 3 yet).
Description
The HuCit KB is a knowledge base about classical (Greek and Latin) texts, developed with the precise aim of supporting the automatic extraction of bibliographic references to such texts.
The data model of the HuCit KB is based on the following ontologies:
It builds upon and connects with the following resources:
Installation
git clone https://github.com/mromanello/hucit_kb.git
cd hucit_kb
python setup.py install
Or via pip:
pip install hucitlib
Command Line
The library comes with a (development) Command Line Interface.
To see the documentation, try running:
hucit --help
For example, you can search works by name:
hucit find "Iliad"
or look up authors/works by CTS URNs:
hucit find urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001

This is an example of how to use the HuCit KB programmatically:
>>> import pprint
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> from knowledge_base import KnowledgeBase
>>> virtuoso_cfg_file = pkg_resources.resource_filename('knowledge_base','config/virtuoso.ini')
