a javascript library to visualize an array of RDF triples into an HTML page
Current stage: planning - alpha version
We use a HTML data attribute data-rdftohtml-plugin to determine where to inject HTML generated from the plugins, for example for the map plugin:
data-rdftohtml-plugin='map'></div>
Somewhere in the HTML code, you should include the triples in turtle format:
ipt id="turtle" type="text/turtle">
@base <http://semweb.mmlab.be/ns/oh#> .
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
<http://semweb.mmlab.be/ns/oh> a owl:Ontology;
ript>
You can customize this HTML to fit your page's lay-out.
To trigger the plugin, you will need to add the following script to your HTML code:
ipt type="text/javascript">
var triples = document.getElementById("turtle").innerHTML;
var config = {}; // Won't call any plugins
rdf2html(triples, config);
ript>
By default, the empty config object won't do anything.
Every plugin you want to enable must be declared inside this object as follows:
config = { plugins: ['triples', 'map', 'ontology', 'paging'] };
Each plugin can accept its own configuration, this requires the plugins array to be represented as a dictionary:
config = {
plugins: {
triples: true,
map: {
// Base path on which the assets are provided
assetsBase: '/assets'
},
ontology: true,
paging: true
}
Using true or {} as plugin value, or not providing specific fields will cause the plugin to use its default configuration for those fields.
Custom plugins can be added in this dictionary representation by simply adding a new element as follows:
config = {
plugins: {
...
myCustomPlugin: {
// This callback is called once, 'db' contains all declared triples.
callback: function(db, container, prefixes, config) {
console.log(db.find('http://semweb.mmlab.be/ns/oh', null, null));
}
}
...
}
The callback field is the actual entry point of the plugin.
For debugging purposes, the config can also contain a verbose boolean field.
Some guidelines:
You're creating a particular visualization: e.g., you want to display an ontology, you want to display something on a map, you want to show some meta-data, etc. If there is already a visualization for what you want to do, e.g., a map or an ontology visualizer, integrate it in the specific code. If you want to do something completely new, then go ahead and add your own javascript class.
Clone this repository, run npm install, and use the resulting dist/ folder.
The dist/ folder can be regenerated by running node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js dist.
