Enhancement parameters

See conversion:Enhancement for a more intuitive organization.

Enhancement parameters constitute 80% of why csv2rdf4lod exists.

• Getting RDF from CSV is trivial;
• Getting RDF with consistent and self-documenting URIs is a bit harder;
• Getting RDF that accounts for the variety of sources that you want to pull together takes a bit more effort;
• Getting RDF that seamlessly permits incremental structural enhancements while preserving backward compatibility is even harder;
• Getting RDF that guides a third party data consumer from itself back to the original form available from the original publishers is just about too much to worry about when you're just trying to mash up data...

Fortunately, csv2rdf4lod takes care of all of this.

• Generating enhancement parameters

• Suggested ordering of predicates on a conversion:Enhancement (style note)

• Detailed level:

  • conversion:delimits_object
  • conversion:interpret
  • conversion:links_via
  • conversion:subproperty_of
  • DEPRECATING: conversion:dataset_version
  • DEPRECATING: conversion:domain_template
  • DEPRECATING: conversion:range_template

• Intermediate level:

  • Codebook enhancements
  • Using template variables to construct new values

Enhancement Parameters Reference - originated at RPI's original data-gov wiki and grew a bit too large. Github's mediawiki syntax interpreter isn't up to snuff, so it'll take a bit of remunging to get it into a nice reference again.

• Patterns
  • Enhancement pattern: dcterms:spatial and geonames:parentFeature
  • Enhancement pattern: dcterms:temporal
  • Enhancing a CSV that describes another CSV's headers
  • Converting with cell-based subjects

Reusing enhancement parameters for multiple versions or datasets
