# rdfpipe(1)

parsing RDF in different formats and serializing the resulting graph to a chosen format

## NAME

rdfpipe: - parsing RDF in different formats and serializing the resulting graph to a chosen format

## SYNOPSIS

**rdfpipe** \[*-h*\] \[*-i INPUT\_FORMAT*\] \[*-o OUTPUT\_FORMAT*\] \[*--ns=PFX=NS* ...\] \[*-*\] \[*FILE* ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

A commandline tool for parsing RDF in different formats and serializing the resulting graph to a chosen format. Reads file system paths, URLs or from stdin if '-' is given. The result is serialized to stdout.

## OPTIONS

- **--version**

  show program's version number and exit

- **-h**, **--help**

  show this help message and exit

- **-i** INPUT\_FORMAT, **--input-format**=*INPUT\_FORMAT*

  Format of the input document(s). Available input formats are: application/trix, xml, n3, turtle, microdata, application/svg+xml, mdata, nquads, rdfa, trix, application/xhtml+xml, rdfa1.1, application/n-quads, hturtle, rdfa1.0, text/n3, text/html, text/turtle, application/rdf+xml, html, application/n-triples, nt. If no format is given, it will be guessed from the file name extension. Keywords to parser can be given after format like: FORMAT:(+)KW1,-KW2,KW3=VALUE.

- **-o** OUTPUT\_FORMAT, **--output-format**=*OUTPUT\_FORMAT*

  Format of the graph serialization. Available output formats are: turtle, n3, text/n3, trig, pretty-xml, nt, application/rdf+xml, application/n-triples, application/n-quads, nquads, application/trix, xml, text/turtle, trix. Default format is: 'n3'. Keywords to serializer can be given after format like: FORMAT:(+)KW1,-KW2,KW3=VALUE.

- **--ns**=*PREFIX=NAMESPACE*

  Register a namespace binding (QName prefix to a base URI). This can be used more than once.

- **--no-guess**

  Don't guess format based on file suffix.

- **--no-out**

  Don't output the resulting graph (useful for checking validity of input).

- **-w**, **--warn**

  Output warnings to stderr (by default only critical errors).
