Installation

Docker There is a docker image check out the section Docker Usage.

As a prerequisite for Jekyll RDF you of course need to install Jekyll. Please take a look at the installations instructions at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/.

If you already have a working Jekyll installation you can add the Jekyll-RDF plugin. Probably you already using Bundler and there is a Gemfile in your Jekyll directory. Add Jekyll-RDF to the plugins section:

gem "jekyll-rdf", "~> 3.2"

Replace the version string with the currently available stable release as listed on rubygems.org. After updating your Gemfile you probably want to run bundle install (or bundle install --path vendor/bundle) or bundle update.

If you are not using a Gemfile to manage your jekyll/ruby packages install Jekyll-RDF using gem:

gem install jekyll-rdf

If you want to build the plugin from source, please have a look at our Development section.

Usage

This section explains how to use Jekyll-RDF in three steps:

Configuration
Building the Jekyll Site
Defining Templates

All filters and methods to use in templates and configuration options are documented in the section “Parameters and configuration options at a glance”.

Configuration

First, you need a jekyll page. In order to create one, just do:

jekyll new my_page
cd my_page

Further, there are some parameters required in your _config.yml for jekyll-rdf. I.e. the url and baseurl parameters are used for including the resource pages into the root of the site, the plug-in has to be configured, and the path to the RDF file has to be present.

baseurl: "/simpsons"
url: "http://example.org"

plugins:
    - jekyll-rdf

jekyll_rdf:
    path: "_data/data.ttl"
    default_template: "default.html"
    restriction: "SELECT ?resourceUri WHERE { ?resourceUri ?p ?o . FILTER regex(str(?resourceUri), 'http://example.org/simpsons')  }"
    class_template_mappings:
        "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person": "person.html"
    instance_template_mappings:
        "http://example.org/simpsons/Abraham": "abraham.html"

Base Path Specification

The url + baseurl are used by Jekyll RDF to identify relative to which URL it should build the RDF resource pages. In the example above this means that a resource with the IRI <http://example.org/simpsons/Bart> is rendered to the path /Bart.html. Also other features and plugins for Jekyll depend on these two parameters. If for any case the two parameters differ from the base path that Jekyll RDF should assume, it is possible to set the parameter baseiri in the jekyll_rdf section.

baseurl: "/simpsons"
url: "https://beispiel.com"

jekyll_rdf:
    baseiri: "http://example.org/"

Map resources to templates

It is possible to map a specific class (resp. RDF-type) or individual resources to a template.

  class_template_mappings:
      "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person": "person.html"
  instance_template_mappings:
      "http://aksw.org/Team": "team.html"

A template mapped to a class will be used to render each instance of that class and its subclasses. Each instance is rendered with its most specific class mapped to a template. If the mapping is ambiguous for a resource, a warning will be output to your command window, so watch out!

It is also possible to define a default template, which is used for all resources, which are not covered by the class_template_mappings or instance_template_mappings.

  default_template: "default.html"

Restrict resource selection

You can restrict the resources selected to be built by adding a SPARQL query as restriction parameter to _config.yml. Please use ?resourceUri as the placeholder for the resulting URIs:

  restriction: "SELECT ?resourceUri WHERE { ?resourceUri <http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/family#hasFather> <http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/simpsons#Homer> }"

There are 3 predefined keywords for restrictions implemented:

subjects will load all subject URIs
predicates will load all predicate URIs
objects will load all object URIs

Because some SPARQL endpoints have a built in limit for SELECT queries you can also define a list of resources to be built. A file _data/restriction.txt cool have the following content:

<http://example.org/resourceA>
<http://example.org/resourceB>
<http://example.org/resourceC>
<http://example.org/resourceD>
<http://example.org/resourceE>

In the _config.yml you specify the file with the key restriction_file. If both, a restriction_file and a restriction, are specified Jekyll RDF will build pages for the union of the both.

Blank Nodes

Furthermore you can decide if you want to render blank nodes or not. You just need to add include_blankto _config.yml:

jekyll_rdf:
  include_blank: true

Preferred Language

Finally it is also possible to set a preferred language for the RDF-literals with the option language:

jekyll_rdf:
  language: "en"

Building the Jekyll Site

Running jekyll build will render the RDF resources to the _site/… directory. Running jekyll serve will render the RDF resources and provide you with an instant HTTP-Server usually accessible at http://localhost:4000/. RDF resources whose IRIs don't start with the configured Jekyll url and baseurl (resp. baseiri) are rendered to the _site/rdfsites/… sub directory.

Defining Templates

To make use of the RDF data, create one or more files (e.g rdf_index.html or person.html) in the _layouts-directory. For each resource a page will be rendered. See example below:

---
layout: default
---
<div class="home">
  <h1 class="page-heading"><b>{{ page.rdf.iri }}</b></h1>
  <p>
    <h3>Statements in which {{ page.rdf.iri }} occurs as subject:</h3>
    {% include statements_table.html collection=page.rdf.statements_as_subject %}
  </p>
  <p>
    <h3>Statements in which {{ page.rdf.iri }} occurs as predicate:</h3>
    {% include statements_table.html collection=page.rdf.statements_as_predicate %}
  </p>
  <p>
    <h3>Statements in which {{ page.rdf.iri }} occurs as object:</h3>
    {% include statements_table.html collection=page.rdf.statements_as_object %}
  </p>
</div>

Template Examples

We included some template examples at

test/source/_layouts/rdf_index.html
test/source/_layouts/person.html

Get the IRI of a resource

{{ page.rdf }}

Is the currently rendered resource.

{{ page.rdf.iri }}

Returns the IRI of the currently rendered resource.

To access objects which are connected to the current subject via a predicate you can use our custom liquid filters. For single objects or lists of objects use the rdf_property-filter (see 1 and 2).

Single Objects

To access one object which is connected to the current subject through a given predicate please filter page.rdf data with the rdf_property-filter. Example:

Age: {{ page.rdf | rdf_property: '<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/age>' }}

Optional Language Selection

To select a specific language please add a second parameter to the filter:

Age: {{ page.rdf | rdf_property: '<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/job>','en' }}

Multiple Objects

To get more than one object connected to the current subject through a given predicate please use the filter rdf_property in conjunction with a third argument set to true (the second argument for the language can be omitted by setting it to nil):

Sisters: <br />
{% assign resultset = page.rdf | rdf_property: '<http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/family#hasSister>', nil, true %}
<ul>
{% for result in resultset %}
    <li>{{ result }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Optional Language Selection

To select a specific language please add a second parameter to the filter:

Book titles: <br />
{% assign resultset = page.rdf | rdf_property: '<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/currentProject>','de' %}
<ul>
{% for result in resultset %}
    <li>{{ result }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

RDF Containers and Collections

To support RDF Containers and RDF Collections we provide the rdf_container and rdf_collection filters.

In both cases the respective container resource resp. head of the collection needs to be identified and then passed through the respective filter. For containers we currently support explicit instances of rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq and rdf:Alt with the members identified using the rdfs:ContainerMembershipPropertys: rdf:_1, rdf:_2, rdf:_3 …. Collections are identified using rdf:first, rdf:rest and terminated with L rdf:rest rdf:nil. Since the head of a collection needs to be identified you cannot use a blank node there, you can identify it indirectly through the predicate which contains the collection.

Example graph:

@prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

ex:Resource ex:lists ex:List ;
            ex:directList ("hello" "from" "turtle") .
            ex:hasContainer ex:Container .

ex:List rdf:first "hello" ;
        rdf:rest ("rdf" "list") .

ex:Container a rdf:Bag ;
             rdf:_1 "hello" ;
             rdf:_2 "rdf" ;
             rdf:_3 "container" .

The template for ex:Resource:

{% assign list = page.rdf | rdf_collection: '<http://example.org/directList>' %}
<ol>
{% for item in list %}
<li>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ol>

{% assign container = page.rdf | rdf_property: '<http://example.org/hasContainer>' | rdf_container %}
<ul>
{% for item in container %}
<li>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Custom SPARQL Query

We implemented a liquid filter sparql_query to run custom SPARQL queries. Each occurrence of ?resourceUri gets replaced with the current URI. Caution: You have to separate query and result set variables because of Liquids concepts. Example:

{% assign query = 'SELECT ?sub ?pre WHERE { ?sub ?pre ?resourceUri }' %}
{% assign resultset = page.rdf | sparql_query: query %}
<table>
{% for result in resultset %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ result.sub }}</td>
    <td>{{ result.pre }}</td>
  </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

Defining Prefixes for RDF

It is possible to declare a set of prefixes which can be used in the rdf_property and sparql_query liquid-filters. This allows to shorten the amount of text required for each liquid-filter. The syntax of the prefix declarations is the same as for SPARQL 1.1. Just put your prefixes in a separate file and include the key rdf_prefix_path together with a relative path in the YAML Front Matter of a file where your prefixes should be used.

For the prefixes the same rules apply as for other variables defined in the YAML Front Matter. These variables will then be available to you to access using Liquid tags both further down in the file and also in any layouts or includes that the page or post in question relies on. (source: YAML Front Matter). This is especially relevant if you are using prefixes in includes.

Dealing with Fragment Identifiers

If the URI of a resource contains a fragment identifier (#…) the resource can be hosted together with other resources with the same base URI up to the fragment identifier on a single page. The page will by accessible through the base URI, while in the template the individual URIs with a fragment identifier are accessible through the collection page.sub_rdf.

Example

In the _config.yml:

  'instance_template_mappings' :
    'http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/simpsons' : 'family.html'

In _layouts/family.html:

  {% for member in page.sub_rdf%}
    {% include simPerson.html person = member%}
  {% endfor %}

The example uses the template family.html to render a single page containing every resource whose URI begins with http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/simpsons#, was well as the resource http://www.ifi.uio.no/INF3580/simpsons itself. Jekyll-rdf collects all resources with a fragment identifier in their URI (from here on called subResources) and passes them through page.sub_rdf into the templates of its superResource (resources whose base URI is the same as of its subResources except for the fragment identifier).

Parameters and configuration options at a glance

Resource Attributes

Every resource returned by one of jekyll-rdfs filters is an object that liquid can also handle like a string. They all have the following methods usable in Liquid.

Resource.statements_as_subject

Return a list of statements whose subject is the current resource. The statements in the returned list can be accessed by addressing their positions: Statement.subject, Statement.predicate, respective Statement.object.

Resource.statements_as_predicate

Return a list of statements whose predicate is the current resource. The statements in the returned list can be accessed by addressing their positions: Statement.subject, Statement.predicate, respective Statement.object.

Resource.statements_as_object

Return a list of statements whose object is the current resource. The statements in the returned list can be accessed by addressing their positions: Statement.subject, Statement.predicate, respective Statement.object.

Resource.page_url

Return the URL of the page representing this RdfResource.

Resource.render_path

Return the path to the page representing this RdfResource. Use it with care.

Resource.covered

This attribute is relevant for rendering pages for IRIs containing a fragment identifier (http://superresource#anchor). This attribute is true for the super-resource (http://superresource) if it is actually described in the given knowledge base.

Resource.rendered

This attribute tells if the respective instance of a resource is rendered within the context of the current site generation. Usage: {% if resource.rendered? %}…{% endif %}.

Resource.inspect

Returns a verbose String representing this resource.

Docker Usage

There is also a docker/podman image that has jekyll and jekyll-rdf pre-installed. You can get it with:

docker pull ghcr.io/aksw/jekyll-rdf:latest

and run it e.g. with

docker run --rm --workdir /page -v $PWD:/page ghcr.io/aksw/jekyll-rdf:latest

or customize the jekyll execution with

docker run --rm --workdir /page -v $PWD/sources:/page -v $PWD/build/jekyll:/build ghcr.io/aksw/jekyll-rdf:latest jekyll build -d /build

The entrypoint of the image executes bundle install first an then runs bundle exec jekyll build or bundle exec <your command>. To keep the installed packages between runs specify the environment variable BUNDLE_PATH to a location that persists between runs, e.g. -e BUNDLE_PATH=.vendor. To disable the whole bundler stuff set NO_BUNDLER to a non-empty value, the entrypoint will run your command as it is.

Docker Variables

Name	Default	Description
`BUNDLE_PATH`	unset	Set the path where bundler installs the packages. See also the bundler docs.
`NO_BUNDLER`	unset	Set to a non-empty value to disable all bundler parts in the entrypoint

Development

Installation from source

To install the project with the git-repository you will need git on your system. The first step is just cloning the repository:

git clone [email protected]:AKSW/jekyll-rdf.git

A folder named jekyll-rdf will be automatically generated. You need to switch into this folder and compile the ruby gem to finish the installation:

cd jekyll-rdf
gem build jekyll-rdf.gemspec
gem install jekyll-rdf -*.gem

Run tests

bundle exec rake test

Test page

Every time the tests are executed, the Jekyll page inside of test/source gets processed. Start a slim web server to watch the results in web browser, e.g. Pythons SimpleHTTPServer (Python 2, for Python 3 it's http.server):

cd test/source/_site
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Build API Doc

To generate the API Doc please navigate to jekyll-rdf/lib directory and run

gem install yard
yardoc *

The generated documentation is placed into jekyll-rdf/lib/doc directory.
