The tool translates mapping rules from YARRRML in a turtle-based serialization of RML or R2RML.
## Installation:
```
pip install yatter
```
## Execution from CLI
To execute from command line run the following:
- From YARRRML to \[R2\]RML
```bash
python3 -m yatter -i path_to_input_yarrrml.yml -o path_to_rdf_mapping.ttl [-f R2RML]
```
- From \[R2\]RML to YARRRML
```bash
python3 -m yatter -i path_to_input_rdf_mapping.ttl -o path_to_output_yarrrml.yml [-f R2RML]
```
`-f R2RML` is an optional parameter for translating input YARRRML to R2RML (and inverse)
## Execution as a library
If you want to include the module in your implementation:
- for translating **YARRRML mapping** to **RML mappings** (and inverse):
```python
import yatter
from ruamel.yaml import YAML
# YARRRML to RML
yaml = YAML(typ='safe', pure=True)
rml_content = yatter.translate(yaml.load(open("path-to-yarrrml")))
# RML to YARRRML
yarrrml_content = yatter.inverse_translate("rdf_mapping_content")
```
- for translating **YARRRML mappings** to **R2RML mappings** (and inverse):
```python
import yatter
from ruamel.yaml import YAML
R2RML_URI = 'http://www.w3.org/ns/r2rml#'
# YARRRML to R2RML
yaml = YAML(typ='safe', pure=True)
rml_content = yatter.translate(yaml.load(open("path-to-yarrrml")), mapping_format=R2RML_URI)
# R2RML to YARRRML
yarrrml_content = yatter.inverse_translate("rdf_mapping_content", mapping_format=R2RML_URI)
```
- for merging TriplesMap based on id:
```python
import yatter
list_yarrrml_mappings = ["content_mapping_yarrrml1", "content_mapping_yarrrml1"]
yarrrml_content = yatter.merge_mappings(list_yarrrml_mappings)
```
## Specifications conformant:
These are the following specifications used by the translation process:
- YARRRML: https://w3id.org/kg-construct/yarrrml
- R2RML: https://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/
- RML: https://rml.io/spec
- RML-star: https://w3id.org/rml/star/spec
- RML-IO: https://w3id.org/rml/io/spec
- RML-FNML: https://w3id.org/rml/fnml/spec
- RML-CC: https://w3id.org/rml/cc/spec
To be implemented soon:
- RML-core: https://w3id.org/rml/core/spec
