Feature request: Model.map_ontology()

[nemegrod]

Thank you for this awesome library!!

If there is an ontology imported to the model, it should be quite easy to map the data in the polar-df according to the prefixes, classes and constraints in the ontology, reducing the manual work of adapting the stOTTR-template.

If you name the columns in the df according to the ontology, you shoud be able to infer the predicates (from domain and range) and the objects in the OTTR-triple mappings.

Nice to hear! I have some code for this already, as I have done it in a couple of settings (FIBO and CIM), let me see if I can make it easily available as part of the API.

In #42 one of the things I suggested as a possible extension to maplib could be the support for the CSVW.

It is the recommended format for data exchange between organisations in the UK Government. It is because it is backward compatible with all the tools that can work with .csv files - tabular data, and offers a way for easy conversion of that tabular data into linked data. It also has the advantage that the definition of the data can be easily shared with anything it contains, including constraints.

Wouldn't implementing CSVW support solve this problem, at least partially?

@michalporeba Sorry for the late reply!
Looking into CSVW, think it is a very good idea to use the JSON-LD there to specify templates to generate according to the spec, yes. Following up in not too long :-)
