A simple command-line tool for working with the data collected by Richard Cyganiak’s excellent service prefix.cc.
I rely on the service as the easiest way to remember URIs for RDF vocabularies. But I often find myself working on a train or a plane and so the service is accessible.
What I really wanted is a way to query the knowledge base both on and offline.
Prefix command provides you with a simple command-line tool to do exactly that.
INSTALLATION
[sudo] gem install prefix-cmd
Or grab the source and:
rake install
USAGE
The command caches a local copy of the data available from:
The data is fetched and cached in:
~/.prefix-cmd/prefixes.json
There are three options:
prefix-cmd init #initialise or refresh your local cache
To lookup a URI:
prefix-cmd uri [prefix|curie]
To suggest a prefix:
prefix-cmd prefix [uri]
Thats all!
