Crate rdftk_names

This crate provides a set of modules that contain the IRIs and QName strings for commonly used vocabularies. It also provides macro support for defining new namespaces in the same style as this library.

The vocabularies supported can be found below.

Macro Example

The following example replicates the geo module using the namespace! macro. Note that as this macro uses paste::item the client will need to have a dependency on the paste crate, and a macro use statement in their code.

#[macro_use]
extern crate paste;

#[macro_use]
extern crate rdftk_names;

namespace! {
    "geo",
    "http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#",
    {
        spatial_thing, "SpatialThing",
        temporal_thing, "TemporalThing",
        event, "Event",
        point, "Point",
        lat, "lat",
        location, "location",
        long, "long",
        alt, "alt",
        lat_long, "lat_long"
    }
}

Modules

dc	Namespaces for Dublin Core metadata.
foaf	Functions that create IRIs for the Friend of a Friend namespace.
geo	Functions that create IRIs for the W3C Geo Vocabulary namespace.
owl	Functions that create IRIs for the OWL 2 Web ontology Language OWL2 namespace.
rdf	Functions that create IRIs for the RDF namespace.
rdfs	Functions that create IRIs for the RDF Schema namespace.
xsd	Functions that create IRIs for the XML Schema Data Types namespace.

Macros

namespace	This macro produces the constants and functions to describe a vocabulary. It creates the following items.
nsname	Typically this macro is only called by the namespace! macro. It takes an identifier and a string and produces:
