Windows DLL Converter

Windows DLL Converter converts the JSON output from the Windows Wrapper Extractor develop by Miguel Nunes 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/windows-dll-web-wrapper-converter

Install Requirements

1. Oracle Java JDK 1.7

Format UUID

This version of Windows DLL Converter accepts the format 0997e4b4-e5aa-11e3-b2d9-001e378cabac

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" : "Windows Wrapper Extractor",
    "format" : {
        "id" : "0997e4b4-e5aa-11e3-b2d9-001e378cabac",
        "multiple" : false
    },
      "UUID" : "91dbaf55-b01c-11e3-9422-a58c1d99206c"
}

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 DLL DSO. All dependencies are stored as DLL Packages and each second or higher level dependency is then connected to its parent (The DLL that depends on it) by the "realizes" property.
Other properties to enrich the context and each DLL are available and used: "hasLibraryName", "hasVersion", "hasLocation". However, contrary to conversions utilizing the CUDF DSO, a "realizes" relationship does not specify the required version (specific or with comparator).
