# sordi(1)

load and rewrite RDF data

## NAME

**sordi** – load and rewrite RDF data

## SYNOPSIS

**sordi** \[**-hv**\] \[**-i** *syntax*\] \[**-o** *syntax*\] \[**-s** *string*\] *input* \[*base\_uri*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**sordi** is a command-line utility for loading RDF data into a model, and writing it out again.

**sordi** is mainly useful for things like removing duplicate statements, merging data files, or aggressive pretty-printing with statement reordering.

The options are as follows:

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

  Print the command line options.

- **-i** *syntax*

  Read input as *syntax*. Case is ignored, valid values are: “NQuads”, “NTriples”, “TriG”, “Turtle”.

- **-o** *syntax*

  Write output as *syntax*. Case is ignored, valid values are: “NQuads”, “NTriples”, “TriG”, “Turtle”.

- **-s** *string*

  Parse *string* input instead of a file (terminates options).

- **-v**

  Display version information and exit.

## EXIT STATUS

**sordi** exits with a status of 0, or non-zero if an error occurred.
