Interface LinkedDataFileResource

  • All Superinterfaces:
    FileResource, Identifiable
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    LinkedDataFileResourceImpl

    public interface LinkedDataFileResource
    extends FileResource
    This class represents a linked data file resource, referenced through an uri and specified by the context definition and the corresponding (object) type. A linked data file resource can be of format JSON-LD (mimetype 'application/ld+json'), e.g. an IIIF Presentation Manifest or an Entity Facts person description, what is the first use case being in focus.

    JSON-LD is designed around the concept of a "context" to provide additional mappings from JSON to an RDF model.

    The 'context' links object properties in a JSON document to concepts in an ontology.
    The 'id' is an Internationalized Resource Identifier, represented by an IRI, which allows the Linked Data FileResource to be unambiguously identified by an IRI. In our implementation we use the 'uri' field of FileResource to be the id.
    The 'type' specifies the type of object described in the document.
