Thx
I’ll investigate also!
(it’ s just that our inputs are already that simple (generated/recognized from 
PDFs…) standard sheets that drove me towards the 2 step approach since step 1 
provides such a nice onthefly semantic counterpart of the xlsx…)

Subject: Re: [topbraid-users] enriching the semantic table

Just want to comment that the active data shape is my default approach for data 
import now. So much flexibility.

If you need to script a custom importer for EDG, here is the way to do it:

https://datashapes.org/active/import.html#spreadsheets

Once you script it, you can use it repeatedly. The custom import can become a 
part of the EDG UI.

If you are using TBC spreadsheet imports, then you could develop a set of rules 
or queries to post process converted RDF and save them so you could execute 
them again later. As David described, this could be done in EDG as well, but 
this means a 2 step approach to conversion.

Hi Michel,

The spreadsheet importers that are simple and out-of-the-box support a 
table-maps-to-single class scenario.

If you have a more complex ontology and data about multiple classes in the same 
spreadsheet table, then you are writing a bespoke importer rather than an EDG 
Import Spreadsheet by Template kind of thing.

One approach we take with some customers is to use an external 
spreadsheet-to-RDF mapping tool (e.g. R2RML) and then just import the RDF into 
EDG. This is particularly useful if the spreadsheets are very, very large (i.e. 
a data migration).

A second approach is to make it two steps in EDG, and it sounds like you’ve 
done the first. For the second, it’s probably simpler to make another graph 
based on the more complex ontology as the target and write SHACL Rules (i.e. 
sh:SPARQLRule) which you can include into the target traph to be executed via 
the Transform tab to do the conversion. After conversion you un-include the 
rules graph so you’re left with only the real ontology and data based on it.

The logic of when/if to create new URIs for things is, however, entirely up to 
you. Re-generating the same URI many times is fine though, as triples 
processing means that duplicates cannot be written into the graphs.

Cheers,
David

When I have read in a semantic excel into TBC/EDG I want to convert it to a 
more structured ontology (ie normalize it) via sparql construct queries.
In a sense I am splitting the big nonnormalized table into multiple tables.
In this process I have to (I assume) create IDs for individuals that were not 
in the original table (more as just a column there).

Is there some standard approach for this (like create only first time when 
encountered, reuse when already created )?

Thank for pointing me to the right resources!
Michel
