Tutorial

Using Client

from fdpclient.client import Client

# create a client with base URL
client = Client('http://example.org')

# create metadata
with open('catalog01.ttl') as f:
    data = f.read()
client.create_catalog(data)

# let's assume the catalogID was assigned as 'catalog01'
# read metadata, return a RDF graph
r = client.read_catalog('catalog01')
print(r.serialize(format="turtle").decode("utf-8"))

# update metadata
with open('catalog01_update.ttl') as f:
    data_update = f.read()
client.update_catalog('catalog01', data_update)

# delete metadata
client.delete_catalog('catalog01')

Using operation functions

from fdpclient import operations

# create metadata
with open('catalog01.ttl') as f:
    data = f.read()
operations.create('http://example.org/catalog', data)

# read metadata, return a RDF graph
r = operations.read('http://example.org/catalog/catalog01')
print(r.serialize(format="turtle").decode("utf-8"))

# update metadata
with open('catalog01_update.ttl') as f:
    data_update = f.read()
operations.update('http://example.org/catalog/catalog01', data_update)

# delete metadata
operations.delete('http://example.org/catalog/catalog01')
