• RDF Triple store backend serving BALD graphs

Pre-requisites

• Docker 1.6+
• docker-compose 1.3+

Quickstart

Spin up the python flask app and mongo via docker-compose

$ docker-compose up -d

Your application should be now running on http://localhost:4000

Usage

Loading schema.org descriptions

Assuming you have a directory of schema.org descriptions as json-ld, you can use the example-uploader.sh (as-is or customised), to upload content to via APIs. This will then be listed in the application running on http://localhost:4000

A possible way to get a list of these descriptions is to use the threddsnc2rdf.py tool in the bald library.

Routes

• GET '/' - list of datasets
• GET '/view?id=param1&format=param2' - view the dataset. param1 is the ID of the dataset, param2 (optional) currently allows 'jsonld'
• POST '/new' - add a new dataset description in JSON format (schema.org)
