EEA Dexterity Sparql
EEA Dexterity Sparql is a plone product for fetching data from Linked open data servers
(sparql endpoints).
It is simple to use, you only have to specify the sparql endpoint url and the
sparql query.
The results will be converted in an exhibit json, what can easily be reused
(ex. by eea.daviz).
The main features are:
- create sparql queries
- create sparql bookmark folders, sparql queries are created automatically,
and can be synchronized manually or automatically (with a cronjob).
If a query is changed, a new version of the object is created,
so older ones are not lost.
- results are downloadable in various formats:
JSON, Exhibit JSON, HTML, XML, XML with Schema, CSV, TSV
To install eea.dexterity.sparql into the global Python environment (or a workingenv),
using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:
When you're reading this you have probably already run
easy_install eea.dexterity.sparql. Find out how to install setuptools
(and EasyInstall) here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
If you are using Zope 2.9 (not 2.10), get pythonproducts and install it
via:
python setup.py install --home /path/to/instance
into your Zope instance.
Create a file called eea.dexterity.sparql-configure.zcml in the
/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes directory. The file
should only contain this:
<include package="eea.dexterity.sparql" />
Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance
recipe to manage your project, you can do this:
Add eea.dexterity.sparql to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:
[buildout]
eggs = eea.dexterity.sparql
Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:
[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
zcml = eea.dexterity.sparql
You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package
from another package's configure.zcml file.
You will also need a worker instance to be set up. This is required for the async
update of the last working results.
For both, normal and worker instances, the plone.app.async should be added in
the EGG slug:
eggs =
...
plone.app.async
For the normal instances, the plone.app.async-single_db_instance should be
added in the ZCML slug:
zcml =
...
plone.app.async-single_db_instance
For the worker instances, the plone.app.async-single_db_worker should be
added in the ZCML slug:
zcml =
...
plone.app.async-single_db_worker
Re-run buildout, e.g. with:
$ ./bin/buildout
- Products.ZSPARQLMethod
- eea.versions
- plone.app.async
- eea.cache 7.0+ (optional)
