Microdata parser for RDF.rb.

DESCRIPTION

RDF::Microdata is a Microdata reader for Ruby using the RDF.rb library suite.

FEATURES

RDF::Microdata parses Microdata into statements or triples using the rules defined in Microdata RDF.

  • Microdata parser.
  • If available, Uses Nokogiri for parsing HTML/SVG, falls back to REXML otherwise (and for JRuby)

Install with 'gem install rdf-microdata'

Living implementation

Microdata to RDF transformation is undergoing active development. This implementation attempts to be up-to-date as of the time of release, and is being used in developing the Microdata RDF specification

Microdata Registry

The parser uses a build-in version of the Microdata RDF registry.

Usage

Reading RDF data in the Microdata format

graph = RDF::Graph.load("etc/foaf.html", :format => :microdata)

Note

This spec is based on the W3C HTML Data Task Force specification and does not support GRDDL-type triple generation, such as for html>head>title and

  • Do your best to adhere to the existing coding conventions and idioms.
  • Don't use hard tabs, and don't leave trailing whitespace on any line.
  • Do document every method you add using YARD annotations. Read the tutorial or just look at the existing code for examples.
  • Don't touch the .gemspec, VERSION or AUTHORS files. If you need to change them, do so on your private branch only.
  • Do feel free to add yourself to the CREDITS file and the corresponding list in the the README. Alphabetical order applies.
  • Do note that in order for us to merge any non-trivial changes (as a rule of thumb, additions larger than about 15 lines of code), we need an explicit public domain dedication on record from you.
