DCAT.ex

An implementation of the W3C Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT) - Version 3 vocabulary for Elixir as Grax schemas.

The API documentation can be found here. For more information about the RDF on Elixir projects, go to https://rdf-elixir.dev.

Features

• The DCAT module acts as the RDF.Vocabulary.Namespace for the DCAT vocabulary
• Grax structures for all DCAT classes and their properties, for easy creation and manipulation of data catalogs, datasets, and data services
• Seamless integration with all RDF on Elixir projects

Installation

Add dcat to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:dcat, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end

Usage

DCAT.Dataset.build!(EX.my_dataset(),
  title: "My Dataset",
  description: "This is a sample dataset",
  release_date: Date.utc_today(),
  publishers: [EX.my_org()],
  keywords: ["sample", "dataset", "example"],
  themes: [EX.sample_theme()]
) 
|> Grax.to_rdf!(prefixes: [dcat: DCAT, ex: EX, xsd: RDF.NS.XSD, dct: DCAT.NS.DCTerms]) 
|> RDF.Turtle.write_string!()

produces:

@prefix dcat: <http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#> .
@prefix dct: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .
@prefix ex: <http://example.com/> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
