Rcaap general Converter

Dspace AIP Converter converts the JSON output from both Dspace AIP Extractor and Rcaap Artefact Extractor and converts it to OWL, required for further integration into the Context Model. This OWL file contains Individuals and Data and Object Properties asserted through the usage of the TIMBUS DIO - Domain Independent Ontology and the Artefact DSO.

How to get the code

git clone https://opensourceprojects.eu/git/p/timbus/context-model/converters/json-xml/rcaap-general-artefact-converter

Install Requirements

1. Oracle Java JDK 1.7

Format UUID

This version of Dspace AIP Converter accepts the format ea6f170e-5d74-40ae-bb02-53b07d84b9ac

Building the code

This converter is split into two different modules:
1. Bundle - To be used in the Context Population Framework
2. Cli - To be used through command-line
Apache Maven is used to manage dependencies and build the project, and all that's needed to successfully build the project is running the following command in the base directory:

1

mvn clean package

This command will freshly create a target subdirectory in both cli and bundle directories and place the output jar files there.

Running the cli modules

A simple example on running this module with a previous Perl Modules extraction is running the following command in the cli base directory:

1

java -jar rcaap-general-artefact-converter-cli-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --json exampleextraction.json -f RDF

This command requests a conversion from the exampleextraction.json file and will create a file within the current directory with the output directory. Further options are:
- -d,--directory - Output directory
- -f,--format (RDF|OWL) - Output format
- -h,--help - Shows help (no arguments)
- --json - Input JSON file(s)
- -n
- --dont-save - Does not save output to file (no arguments)

 
Note: A typical extraction within the Context Population Framework will encapsulate the result with the following header:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

{
    "format": {
        "multiple": false,
        "id": "ea6f170e-5d74-40ae-bb02-53b07d84b9ac"
    },
    "UUID": "923fdec6-2ebf-11e4-bc19-ce2b29c0122c",
    "result": {
        ... ... ...

The converter expects solely the result JSON Object. Any other format or header will result in an error.

Expected output

This module converts from JSON to OWL, more specifically to DIO and the Artefact DSO.
The Dspace AIP extractor, besides performing a backup in AIP format and returning its path, it also outputs the paths of all files which are likely to contain customizations, i.e, changes to the original Dspace installation.
As for the Rcaap Artefact Extractor, analogous to the Dspace AIP module, it returns a set of files that are susceptible to be result of an extension on the RCAAP Portal files.
The converter represents these files as Artefact individuals and links them to a Data Property contaning their path, "hasSourceLocation".
