MMI udunits2rdf tool

Conversion of UDUnits XML files to RDF.

Running the conversion

You will need the sbt tool.

The original XML files are included in this repository. If there is a new version of any of these files:

• go to https://github.com/Unidata/UDUNITS-2/tree/master/lib
• follow the links until finding the raw version of the updated XML file
• download the file to src/main/resources/.

For example:

$ XML="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unidata/UDUNITS-2/master/lib/udunits2-accepted.xml"
$ curl $XML -o src/main/resources/udunits2-accepted.xml

Script scripts/download.sh helps do all downloads with a single command.

Then run the udunits2rdf program to generate the RDF version of the XML files:

$ sbt run

This program reads in configuration parameters from src/main/resources/application.conf.
