Usage

Configuration

Create a hash for passing to a transformer.

# Pure host with authentication.
config = {
  url:      ENV['PURE_URL'],
  username: ENV['PURE_USERNAME'],
  password: ENV['PURE_PASSWORD'],
  minting_uri: 'http://data.example.com'
}

# Pure host without authentication.
config = {
  url: ENV['PURE_URL'],
  minting_uri: 'http://data.example.com'
}

Transformation

Create a metadata transformer for a Pure dataset.

transformer = LinkedResearchMetadata::Transformer::Dataset.new config

Give it a Pure identifier...

graph = transformer.transform uuid: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'

...and get an RDF graph.
