Overview

A Vocabulary represents an RDFS or OWL vocabulary.

A Vocabulary can also serve as a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for generating an RDF Graph definition for the vocabulary (see #to_enum).

Defining a vocabulary using the DSL

Vocabularies can be defined based on Vocabulary or StrictVocabulary using a simple Domain Specific Language (DSL).

  • Ontology information for the vocabulary itself can be specified using the Vocabulary.ontology method.
  • Terms of the vocabulary are specified using either property or term (alias), with the attributes of the term listed in a hash. See Vocabulary.property for description of the hash. Term attributes become properties of the associated Term (see Term#attributes).

Note that, by default, the prefix associated with the vocabulary for forming and interpreting PNames is created from the class name of the vocabulary. See Vocabulary.__prefix__= for overriding this at runtime.

The simplest way to generate a DSL representation of a vocabulary is using Writer given an Graph representation of the vocabulary.

Vocabularies:

The following vocabularies are pre-defined for your convenience:

  • RDF - Resource Description Framework (RDF)
  • OWL - Web Ontology Language (OWL)
  • RDFS - RDF Schema (RDFS)
  • XSD - XML Schema (XSD)

Other vocabularies are defined in the rdf-vocab gem

Examples:

Using pre-defined RDF vocabularies

include RDF

RDF.type      #=> RDF::URI("http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type")
RDFS.seeAlso  #=> RDF::URI("http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso")
OWL.sameAs    #=> RDF::URI("http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs")
XSD.dateTime  #=> RDF::URI("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime")

Using ad-hoc RDF vocabularies

foaf = RDF::Vocabulary.new("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
foaf.knows    #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows")
foaf[:name]   #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name")
foaf['mbox']  #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/mbox")

Defining a simple vocabulary

EX = Class.new(RDF::StrictVocabulay("http://example/ns#")) do
  # Ontology definition
  ontology :"http://example/ns#",
    label: "The RDF Example Vocablary",
    type: "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Ontology"

  # Class definitions
  term :Class,
    label: "My Class",
    comment: "Good to use as an example",
    type: "rdfs:Class",
    subClassOf: "http://example/SuperClass",
    "ex:prop": "Some annotation property not having a shortcut"

  # Property definitions
  property :prop,
    comment: "A description of the property",
    label: "property",
    domain: "http://example/ns#Class",
    range: "rdfs:Literal",
    isDefinedBy: %(ex:),
    type: "rdf:Property"
end

Method calls are converted to the typical RDF camelcase convention

foaf = RDF::Vocabulary.new("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
foaf.family_name    #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName")
owl.same_as         #=> RDF::URI("http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs")
# []-style access is left as is
foaf['family_name'] #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/family_name")
foaf[:family_name]  #=> RDF::URI("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/family_name")

Generating RDF from a vocabulary definition

graph = RDF::Graph.new << RDF::RDFS.to_enum
graph.dump(:ntriples)

  • url (URI, #to_s) (defaults to: nil)
  • class_name (RDF::Vocabulary, String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The class_name associated with the vocabulary, used for creating the class name of the vocabulary. This will create a new class named with a top-level constant based on class_name. If given an existing vocabulary, it replaces the existing definitions for that vocabulary with those from the graph.

  • extra (Array<Symbol>, Hash{Symbol => Hash}) (defaults to: nil) —

    Extra terms to add to the vocabulary. In the first form, it is an array of symbols, for which terms are created. In the second, it is a Hash mapping symbols to property attributes, as described in property.

.property ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term .property(name, options) ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term Also known as: term, __property__

Overloads:

  • .property ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term

    Returns property in the current vocabulary

    Returns:

  • .property(name, options) ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term

    Defines a new property or class in the vocabulary as a Term.

    Examples:

    A simple term definition

    property :domain,
  comment: %(A domain of the subject property.),
  domain: "rdf:Property",
  label: "domain",
  range: "rdfs:Class",
  isDefinedBy: %(rdfs:),
  type: "rdf:Property"

    A term definition with tagged values

    property :actor,
comment: {en: "Subproperty of as:attributedTo that identifies the primary actor"},
domain: "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Activity",
label: {en: "actor"},
range: term(
    type: "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Class",
    unionOf: list("https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Object", "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Link")
  ),
subPropertyOf: "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#attributedTo",
type: "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#ObjectProperty"

    A SKOS term with anonymous values

    term: :af,
  type: "jur:Country",
  isDefinedBy: "http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2003/03swap/countries#",
  "skos:exactMatch": [
    Term.new(
      type: "skos:Concept",
      inScheme: "iso3166-1-alpha-2",
      notation: "ax"),
    Term.new(
      type: "skos:Concept",
      inScheme: "iso3166-1-alpha-3",
      notation: "ala")
  ],
  "foaf:name": "Aland Islands"

    Parameters:

    • name (String, #to_s)
    • options (Hash{Symbol=>String,Array<String>}) —

      Any other values are expected to expands to a URI using built-in vocabulary prefixes. The value is a String, 'HashSymbol=>String,Array<String>' or Array<String,Hash{Symbol=>Array<String>}> which is interpreted according to the range of the associated property and by heuristically determining the value datatype. See attributes argument to #initialize.

    Returns:

.register(prefix, vocab, **params) ⇒ Hash

Register a vocabulary for internal prefix lookups. Parameters of interest include :uri, :class_name, :source, and :skip.

Parameters:

  • prefix (Symbol) —

    the prefix to use

  • vocab (String, Class) —

    either the URI or the vocab class

  • params (Hash{Symbol => String}) —

    Relevant parameters

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    The parameter hash, but frozen

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
