Importing NeoWiki demo data

New page

Every NeoWiki page's Subjects are available as '''RDF'''. The same data is offered in two ways:

* A '''native projection''' in NeoWiki's own vocabulary. Lossless, always available, no setup.
* '''Ontology projections''' that re-express the data in an established vocabulary such as the [https://pro.europeana.eu/page/edm-documentation Europeana Data Model] (EDM). Each one is defined by a '''Mapping''' page.

Each export is produced on demand from the page's current data and downloads as a Turtle or TriG file. A projection can also be kept in a SPARQL store and queried live — see [[SPARQL queries]] on wikis that have a store configured, such as the NeoWiki development stack.

== The Mapping pages ==

Each Mapping binds one Schema to one target ontology. This wiki ships four, all targeting EDM:

* [[Mapping:PersonToEDM]] — the Person Schema
* [[Mapping:CityToEDM]] — the City Schema
* [[Mapping:ArtworkToEDM]] — the Artwork Schema
* [[Mapping:ArtistToEDM]] — the Artist Schema

== Explore the projections ==

Follow these in order; each link downloads the projection so you can read it.

# '''Pablo Picasso''', [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:Pablo Picasso}}/rdf native] vs [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:Pablo Picasso}}/rdf?projection=edm EDM]: the native file has everything, including the two-layer "Born in" relation and the page metadata; the EDM file is an <code>edm:Agent</code> carrying only the mapped vocabulary, with the unmapped <code>Source</code> absent.
# '''Málaga''', [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:Málaga}}/rdf?projection=edm EDM]: an <code>edm:Place</code> — and the very same entity IRI that Picasso's <code>rdaGr2:placeOfBirth</code> points at, because sibling projections share entity IRIs.
# '''The Milkmaid''', [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:The Milkmaid}}/rdf?projection=edm EDM]: an <code>edm:ProvidedCHO</code> whose <code>dc:creator</code> is the IRI of [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:Johannes Vermeer}}/rdf?projection=edm Vermeer] (an <code>edm:Agent</code>) and whose <code>edm:currentLocation</code> is the Rijksmuseum.
# '''Johann Sebastian Bach''', [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:Johann Sebastian Bach}}/rdf?projection=edm EDM]: Bach's birth is modelled as its own Birth Subject instead of flat fields, so his <code>edm:Agent</code> projects sparse — the same Person Schema as Picasso, a different modelling style.
# '''ACME Inc''', [{{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/rest.php/neowiki/v0/page/{{PAGEID:ACME Inc}}/rdf?projection=edm EDM]: its Company Schema has no EDM Mapping, so the EDM projection comes back empty — a Schema without a Mapping is simply absent, which is how conformant output stays conformant.
