morph-kgc

Morph-KGC is an engine that constructs RDF knowledge graphs from heterogeneous data sources with the R2RML and RML mapping languages. Morph-KGC is built on top of pandas and it leverages mapping partitions to significantly reduce execution times and memory consumption for large data sources.

Features :sparkles:

• User-friendly mappings with YARRRML.
• Transformation functions with RML-FNML, including Python user-defined functions.
• RDF-star generation with RML-star.
• RML views over tabular data sources and JSON files.
• Integration with RDFLib, Oxigraph and Kafka.
• Optimized to materialize large knowledge graphs.
• Remote data and mapping files.
• Input data formats:
  • Relational databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, SQLite.
  • Tabular files: CSV, TSV, Excel, Parquet, Feather, ORC, Stata, SAS, SPSS, ODS.
  • Hierarchical files: JSON, XML.
  • In-memory data structures: Python Dictionaries, DataFrames.
  • Cloud data lake solutions: Databricks.
  • Property graph databases: Neo4j, Kùzu.

Getting Started :rocket:

PyPi is the fastest way to install Morph-KGC:

pip install morph-kgc

We recommend to use virtual environments to install Morph-KGC.

To run the engine via command line you just need to execute the following:

python3 -m morph_kgc config.ini

Check the documentation to see how to generate the configuration INI file. Here you can also see an example INI file.

It is also possible to run Morph-KGC as a library with RDFLib and Oxigraph:

import morph_kgc

# generate the triples and load them to an RDFLib graph
g_rdflib = morph_kgc.materialize('/path/to/config.ini')
# work with the RDFLib graph
q_res = g_rdflib.query('SELECT DISTINCT ?classes WHERE { ?s a ?classes }')

# generate the triples and load them to Oxigraph
g_oxigraph = morph_kgc.materialize_oxigraph('/path/to/config.ini')
# work with Oxigraph
q_res = g_oxigraph.query('SELECT DISTINCT ?classes WHERE { ?s a ?classes }')

# the methods above also accept the config as a string
config = """
            [DataSource1]
            mappings: /path/to/mapping/mapping_file.rml.ttl
            db_url: mysql+pymysql://user:password@localhost:3306/db_name
         """
g_rdflib = morph_kgc.materialize(config)
