namespace

Provides a simple representation of namespaces.

Namespace

Represent a namespace.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
iri str

IRI of namespace to represent.

required
label_annotations Sequence

Sequence of label annotations. If given, check the underlying ontology during attribute access if the name correspond to a label. The label annotations should be ordered from highest to lowest precedense. If True is provided, label_annotations is set to (SKOS.prefLabel, RDF.label, SKOS.altLabel).

()
check bool

Whether to check underlying ontology if the IRI exists during attribute access. If true, NoSuchIRIError will be raised if the IRI does not exist in this namespace.

False
reload Optional[bool]

Whether to reload the ontology (which is needed when label_annotations or check are given) disregardless whether it has been cached locally.

None
triplestore Optional[Union[Triplestore, str]]

Use this triplestore for label lookup and checking. Can be either a Triplestore object or an URL to load from. Defaults to iri.

None
format Optional[str]

Format to use when loading from a triplestore.

None
cachemode int

Deprecated. Use reload instead (with cachemode=NO_CACHE corresponding to reload=True).

-1
triplestore_url Optional[str]

Deprecated. Use the triplestore argument instead.

None
