NAME
rapper - Raptor RDF parsing and serializing utility
SYNOPSIS
rapper [OPTIONS] INPUT-URI [INPUT-BASE-URI]
EXAMPLE
rapper -o ntriples http://planetrdf.com/guide/rss.rdf rapper -i rss-tag-soup -o rss-1.0 pile-of-rss.xml http://example.org/base/ rapper --count http://example.org/index.rdf
DESCRIPTION
The rapper utility allows parsing of RDF content by the Raptor RDF parser toolkit emitting the results as RDF triples in a choice of syntaxes. The INPUT-URI can be a file name, '-' for standard input or if Raptor is built with a WWW retrieval library, a general URI. The optional INPUT-BASE-URI is used as the document parser base URI if present otherwise defaults to the IINPUT-URI. A value of '-' means no base URI.
OPTIONS
rapper uses the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (`-') if supported by the getopt_long
function. Otherwise the short options are only available.
-h, --help
Show a summary of the options.
-i, --input FORMAT
Set the input FORMAT to one of 'rdfxml' (RDF/XML, default),
'ntriples' (N-Triples, see below), 'turtle' (Turtle, see below)
or 'rss-tag-soup' (RSS Tag Soup). The RSS Tag Soup parser can
turn the many XML RSS formats and Atom 0.3 into RDF triples.
The list of parsers depends on how libraptor(3) was built. The
list of supported parsers is given in the help summary given by
-h.
-I, --input-uri URI
Set the input/parser base URI or use value '-' for no base. The
default is the INPUT-URI argument value.
-o, --output FORMAT
Set the output FORMAT to 'ntriples' (N-Triples, default),
'rdfxml' (RDF/XML), 'rdfxml-abbrev' (RDF/XML with abbreviations)
or 'rss-1.0' (RSS 1.0, also an RDF/XML syntax).
The list of serializers depends on how libraptor(3) was built.
The list of supported serializers is given in the help summary
given by -h.
-O, --output-uri URI
Set the output/serializer base URI or use value '-' for no base.
The default is the input base uri, either set by the argument
INPUT-BASE-URI or via options -I, --input-uri URI
-c, --count
Only count the triples and produce no other output.
-e, --ignore-errors
Ignore errors, do not emit the messages and try to continue
parsing.
-f, --feature FEATURE[=VALUE]
Set a parser or serializer feature FEATURE to a value, or to 1
if VALUE is omitted, Use -f help to get lists of valid parser
and serializer features.
If the form -f 'xmlns:prefix="uri"' is used, the prefix and
namespace uri given will be set for serializing. The syntax
matches XML in that either or both of prefix or uri can be
omitted.
-g, --guess
Guess the parser to use from the source-URI rather than use the
-i FORMAT.
-q, --quiet
No extra information messages.
-r, --replace-newlines
Replace newlines in multi-line literals with spaces.
-s, --scan
Scan for <rdf:RDF> element in the RDF/XML source content.
--show-graphs
Print graph names (URIs) as they are seen in the input. This
only has a meaning for parsers that support graph names such as
the TRiG parser.
--show-namespaces
Print namespaces as they are seen in the input.
-t, --trace
Print URIs retrieved during parsing. Especially useful for
monitoring what the guess and GRDDL parsers are doing.
-w, --ignore-warnings
Ignore warnings, do not emit the messages.
-v, --version
Print the raptor version and exit.
EXAMPLES
rapper -q -i ntriples -o rdfxml -f 'xmlns:rss="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"' -f 'xmlns:ex="http://example.org/"' tests/test.nt rapper -q -o rdfxml -f 'xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf- schema#"' tests/rdf-schema.rdf 'http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#'

CHANGES
1.4.16 Added -I/--input-uri and -O/--output-uri to set the input and output (parser and serializer) base URIs separately. 1.4.15 Added -t/--trace to do URI traces. 1.4.5 Updated to add serializer rdfxml-abbrev 1.4.3 Updated potential parser and serializers and described -f for defining namespaces. 1.3.0 Added -f for features. Added -g for guessing the parser to use. 1.1.0 Removed -a, --assume since rdf:RDF is now always optional.
