Sesame Vocabulary Builder

Sesame Vocabulary Builder provides a command line tool and maven plugin that allows to create constants for RDF primitives for a given namespace from RDF ontology files.

How To

1. Download the latest version here.
2. Run jar from command line (Java 7 required): java -jar vocab-builder-cli-{VERSION}-exe.jar <input-file> [<output-file>]
3. Additional information can be configured using command-line parameters

Command Line Options

  <input-file>                            the input file to read from
  [<output-file>]                         the output file to write, StdOut if
                                          omitted
  -b,--languageBundles                    generate L10N LanguageBundles
  -c,--constantCase <constantCase>        case to use for URI constants,
                                          possible values: LOWER_UNDERSCORE,
                                          LOWER_CAMEL, UPPER_CAMEL,
                                          UPPER_UNDERSCORE
  -C,--stringConstantCase <constantCase>  case to use for String constants, see
                                          constantCase
  -f,--format <input-format>              mime-type of the input file (will try
                                          to guess if absent)
  -h,--help                               print this help
  -l,--language <prefLang>                preferred language for vocabulary
                                          labels
  -n,--name <ns>                          the name of the namespace (will try to
                                          guess from the input file if absent)
  -P,--stringConstantPrefix <prefix>      prefix to create string constants
                                          (e.g. _)
  -p,--package <package>                  package declaration (will use default
                                          (empty) package if absent)
  -s,--spaces <indent>                    use spaces for indentation (tabs if
                                          missing, 4 spaces if no number given)
  -S,--stringConstantSuffix <suffix>      suffix to create string constants
                                          (e.g. _STRING)
  -u,--uri <prefix>                       the prefix for the vocabulary (if not
                                          available in the input file)
