The SensorRDF parser allows you to download and convert unstructured sensor data to the standardized RDF format. At the moment, only the openSenseMap API is implemented as a data source. However, this project is meant to be a template for accessing different APIs.

The following instructions will help you compile and run this project.

Make sure you match the following requirements before starting:

• have Java setup on your machine (implemented with Java SE 11)
• have Maven setup on your machine (implemented with Maven 3.6.1)

Clone this repository or download the archive and unzip it. In the main folder (the one containing the pom.xml) run mvn clean package. This will start the build and test process. If everything went well, you will find a executable .jar in the target folder. You can run it with java -jar XXX.jar.

You may use the following parameters when calling the program:

Example call:

java -jar XXX.jar -osm 5cc58071facf70001a872bef
                  -measurements
                  -timerange 2019-05-01T00:00:00.000Z 2019-05-15T00:00:00.000Z
                  -path file.out

Some basic tests are implemented under the test folder. They may be useful to you when experimenting with this project.

The base of this project is the RDF4J framework (formerly known as OpenRDF Sesame). It helps constructing Statements consisting of IRIs and Literals and writing the output. RDF4J also defines some well known rdf vocabularies, like FOAF and GeoSPARQL. Parts of the missing SSN/SOSA ontology got custom implemented in this project.

For mapping JSON input to objects, the jackson framework is used.
