Converting between different serializations

As we use PROV-N as the base syntax for modeling NI-DM 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)
