This screencast will introduce you to the OSF for Drupal
features that let you export Drupal Entities
in one of the following supported serializations:
- RDF+XML (RDF in XML)
- RDF+N3 (RDF in N3)
- structJSON (Internal OSF RDF serialization in JSON)
- structXML (Internal OSF RDF serialization in XML)
- ironJSON (irON serialization in JSON)
- commON (CSV serialization to be used in spreadsheet applications)
I will show you how you can use OSF for Drupal
to export entire datasets of Entities
, or how to export Entities
individually. You will see how you can configure Drupal such that different users roles get access to these functionalities.
I will also briefly discuss how you can create new converters to support more data formats.
Finally, I will show you how Drupal can be used as a linked data
platform with a feature that makes every Drupal Entities
dereferencable
on the Web1. You will see how you can use cURL to export the Entities
‘ descriptions using their URI in one of the 6 supported serialization formats.
