Perl Modules Converter

Perl Modules Converter converts the JSON output from the Perl Modules Extractor develop by Nuno Martins and converts it to Context, required for further preservation.

How to get the code

git clone https://@opensourceprojects.eu/git/p/timbus/context-model/converters/json-xml/perl-modules-converter timbus-context-model-converters-json-xml-perl-modules-converter

Install Requirements

1. Oracle Java JDK 1.7

Format UUID

This version of Perl Modules Converter accepts the format d7f5e025-9daa-11e3-ab53-e3e54faab75e

Required input

The common formating for an extraction includes the name of the extractor in question, a UUID from the extraction and a format. This format, as showed below, is a JSON Object displaying the format UUID (section above) and a boolean to indicate whether the result contains multiple extractions or not. Cases in which this is true are the Extractor Wrappers.
An example of an individual extraction is shown below.

{
    "extractor" : "Perl Modules Extractor",
    "format" : {
        "id" : "d7f5e025-9daa-11e3-ab53-e3e54faab75e",
        "multiple" : false
    },
      "UUID" : "91dbaf55-b01c-11e3-9422-a58c1d99206b"
}

NOTE: Whereas the extractor name is optional, conversion format is mandatory. This converter will NOT be visible to the Converters API unless the format is provided.

Expected output

This module converts from JSON to OWL, more specifically to DIO and the CUDF DSO. All main dependencies are stored as CUDF Packages and each dependency is then represented by a VersionedPackage and connected to the main package by the realizedBy property. This connection includes other properties such as the version comparator.
When a Perl Module provides others, these are represented as VirtualPackages and connected to the main Package by the provides property.
