Translate data from a source data format, data model, vocabulary or datatype to a target data format, data model, vocabulary or datatype.
This repository holds data translators that were designed to work under the RDF Pipeline Framework. They are provided here mostly as examples, but may also be used as utilities.
The project is partitioned by ./data and ./translate:

Where we can, we use npm to run scripts:
- test:
npm test-- runs the regression test suite, seepackage.json:scripts.test. More at npm-scripts, especially for script names, liketest. - config:
npm config [ list | ls -l ]-- reports on your local configuration
To use consume this module directly from github:
npm install --save 'git+https://www.github.com/rdf-pipeline/translators.git' # Add #branch if installing a branch
cd node_modules/translators
npm test # run the regression tests with The translator implementation relies on JSONPath.
On the github branch synthetic, there is the start of a demonstration to support "synthetic data". The data is itself encoded as tab separated values
(TSV). There is an example translator chcs2sd[_simple]?_diagnosis and its inverse sd2chcs_diagnosis. This investigation isn't yet complete and the example is untested.
It is meant to demonstrate how to use the library for a non-FHIR output format and how to do
a "reverse" translation to the chcs format, for example for generating test data or for loading a persistent data store. We hope to return it, time permitting.
