The goal of tuRtle is to parse or export R data with the Turtle syntax for the Resource Description Framework (RDF). This is a very early version that is being co-developed with the dataset package.
Installation
You can install the development version of tuRtle with remotes::install_github():
remotes::install_github("dataobservatory-eu/tuRtle", build = FALSE)Example
Let us organise statements into a table of s subject, p predicate and o object:
tdf <- data.frame (s = c("eg:01","eg:02", "eg:01", "eg:02", "eg:01" ),
p = c("a", "a", "eg-var:", "eg-var:", "rdfs:label"),
o = c("qb:Observation",
"qb:Observation",
"\"1\"^^<xs:decimal>",
"\"2\"^^<xs:decimal>",
'"Example observation"')
)
knitr::kable(tdf)| s | p | o |
|---|---|---|
| eg:01 | a | qb:Observation |
| eg:02 | a | qb:Observation |
| eg:01 | eg-var: | “1”^^ |
| eg:02 | eg-var: | “2”^^ |
| eg:01 | rdfs:label | “Example observation” |
The Turtle serialisation is this, written into an example_file. The parameter ttl_namespace = NULL results in using the default prefixes of the dataset package.
library(tuRtle)
example_file<- file.path(tempdir(), "example_ttl.ttl")
ttl_write(tdf=tdf, ttl_namespace = NULL, file_path = example_file)
readLines(example_file)
