Import & Export

  • Import["file.rdf"] imports an RDF/XML file, returning an RDFStore.
  • Import["file.rdf",elements] imports the specified elements.
  • Export["file.rdf",expr] exports an RDFStore to an RDF/XML file.

  • "Elements" list of elements and options available in this file
    "Rules"full list of rules for each element and option
    "Options"list of rules for options, properties and settings
  • Data representation elements:
  • "Data"an RDFStore
    "Base"base IRI used to resolve relative IRIs
    "Prefixes"association of prefixes to namespace IRIs

Options

  • Import options:
  • "Base"Automaticbase IRI used to resolve relative IRIs
  • The value of "Base" is only used if the file does not specify a base IRI.
  • "Base" can take the following values:
  • Automaticthe file name of the imported file
    Noneno base IRI
    "iri" or URL["iri"]an IRI
  • Export options:
  • "Base"Noneproduce IRIs relative to this base
