The file [dspace-install]/config/modules/rdf.cfg is the main configuration file of dspace-rdf. It contains information on how to connect to the triple storeTriple Store, which class should be used as URIGenerator, which plugins will convert the repository content to RDF, which URL is used in the content negotiation to reach the DataProviderServlet and so on. It contains a lot of comments, so please take a look into the configuration file until there is a better documentation of dspace-rdf.

In the folder [dspace-install]/config/modules/rdf/ you'll find more configuration files. The configuration files are writen in RDF or more specific in Turtle. This behavior makes it easy to specify triples that should be part of the converted data and has some other advantages as well.

The files named [dspace-install]/config/modules/rdf/contstant-data-*.ttl are used to configure the StaticDSOConverterPlugin. Every triple specified in the file constant-data-general.ttl will be added to every resource created while conversion. For each DSpaceObject type except for Bundles and Bitstreams one file exists, that can be used to specify RDF that will be added to the converted data representing a resource of the appropriate DSpaceObject type. Bundles and Bitstreams gets converted as part of the Item they belongs to.

The files [dspace-install]/config/modules/rdf/metadata-*.ttl configure the MetadataConverterPlugin. This is the plugin that converts Item's metadata.

RDFizer

The RDFizer is a command line interface administrators can use to convert the complete repository contents, some content specified by its handle or to delete data from the Triple Store. If the Triple Store is reachable the RDFConsumer converts data at the moment it is changed within DSpace so that the Triple Store should stay synchronized with the repository. You can get the online help by executing the following command:
