Converting between different serializations

As we use PROV-N as the base syntax for modeling NIDM documents, one of the first things you may be interested in doing is converting between the different document types. This can be accomplished using one of several approaches:

Web App Approach

• ProvTranslator

Command line

• provconvert java utility

Web Service approach

• using cURL (note: the file path must have the @ symbol as a prefix)

curl -L --data-binary @<path/to/file> -H "Content-type: text/provenance-notation" -H "Accept: text/turtle" https://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk/validator/provapi/documents/

• using the awesome httpie utility

http POST https://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk/validator/provapi/documents/ Content-Type:text/provenance-notation Accept:text/turtle --follow < <path/to/file>

prov Python library

• Can only read prov-json
• Can construct prov-n, prov-json, and limited set of RDF (currently)
