Usage Question

[twcook]

How do I use this tool from the command line or is a plugin for a framework? Protege, Eclipse?

This is on 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

It appears to have built okay.

Making it executable and then running:
$ ./ontmalizer-1.0.0.jar mlhim244.xsd

where mlhim244.xsd is the schema to translate, yields this output:

Thoughts? Help?

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

It is normal to get those exceptions as we do not build an executable jar for ontmalizer, but I'll keep this in mind for future updates. Ontmalizer is not a plugin either. It is indeed an open source library for XSD and XML to RDF/OWL conversion.

You can either import the outcome jar into your own java project, or import the ontmalizer code base to your favourite java IDE (e.g. Eclipse) to play with it.

In the main github page of ontmalizer (https://github.com/srdc/ontmalizer), I already provide sample java routines for XSD to RDF/OWL and XML to RDF/OWL conversion. They are also available in the test classes located at https://github.com/srdc/ontmalizer/tree/master/src/test/java/eu/salusproject/tr/com/srdc/ontmalizer.

You can just copy those code snippets to your own class and replace sample test XSDs and XML instances with your own XSDs and XMLs. To be more precise, for XSD conversion, just update the following lines:

// input
XSD2OWLMapper mapping = new XSD2OWLMapper(new File("src/test/resources/test/test.xsd"));

and

// output
File f = new File("src/test/resources/output/test.n3");

I hope it is clear now.

Yes, that confirms my suspicion. :-) I would certainly like to see a command line wrapper included for those of us that are not Java developers. But, thanks for publishing under an open license. Maybe someone will contribute a wrapper.

Hello i installed the project and i have run the command mvn install and it was successful. How can i use the project? using a command line or in java or any by editing the file .class to change the path.
Can you explain more

Hello,
can I use ontmalizer for any XML file? Don't I also need to give semantic mapping rules as input? I am new at this topic, thus I am liitle confused. When I searched for from XML to Ontology, it always says that
I need to write mapping rules for each XML. But for this project, it seems the only input is XML file?
