Reintroducing the ArangoDB-RDF Adapter

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

ArangoRDF allows you to export Graphs from ArangoDB into RDFLib, the standard library for working with Resource Description Framework (RDF) in Python, and vice-versa.

Back in December 2023, we (quietly) released ArangoRDF’s 0.1 distribution, which reworked
functionality to introduce a consistent RDF-to-ArangoDB & ArangoDB-to-RDF experience based
on the paper Transforming RDF-star to Property Graphs: A Preliminary Analysis of
Transformation Approaches.

Our latest 0.9 release complements previous overhaul & restoration changes by increasing the
number of transformation cases covered, optimizing its codebase, and improving
documentation.

This blog post will provide a brief outline and links for the walkthrough of ArangoRDF as
demonstrated by the official Jupyter Notebook mentioned below.

In the notebook you will find the following use cases:

1. ArangoDB to RDF
   
   • Via an ArangoDB graph
   • Via a set of ArangoDB Collections
   • Via a user-defined Metagraph
2. RDF to ArangoDB
   
   • Via the RDF-topology Preserving Transformation (RPT) algorithm
   • Via the Property Graph Transformation (PGT) algorithm
3. Full Cycles
   
   • ArangoDB → RDF → ArangoDB
   • RDF → ArangoDB → RDF

We hope you enjoy the notebook, you can get started with it today on:
– GitHub
– Google Colab

As always we look forward to your feedback!
