## Generation Process

### Step 1: Generate OWL/Turtle

```bash
gen-owl -f ttl schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml 2>/dev/null \
  > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl
```

**Output**: 138K Turtle file with 2,328 lines

### Step 2: Convert to Other RDF Formats

```bash
cd schemas/20251121/rdf
rdfpipe -i turtle -o nt 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.nt
rdfpipe -i turtle -o json-ld 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.jsonld
rdfpipe -i turtle -o xml 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.rdf
rdfpipe -i turtle -o n3 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.n3
rdfpipe -i turtle -o trig 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.trig
rdfpipe -i turtle -o trix 01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl > 01_custodian_name_modular.trix
```

**Tool**: `rdfpipe` from `rdflib` package

### Step 3: Create UML Diagrams (Manual)

LinkML's auto-generators (`gen-plantuml`, `gen-yuml`) do not support modular schemas properly. Created comprehensive diagrams manually based on schema structure.

**Mermaid**: Manually authored class diagram with all relationships  
**PlantUML**: Manually authored with color-coded packages and detailed notes

### Step 4: Validate

```python
from rdflib import Graph
g = Graph()
g.parse('01_custodian_name_modular.owl.ttl', format='turtle')
# SUCCESS: 2,701 triples
```

## RDF Format Comparison

| Format | Human-Readable | Machine-Readable | Web-Friendly | Compression | Use Case |
|--------|----------------|------------------|--------------|-------------|----------|
| **Turtle** | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Good | 🟡 Fair | Best | Editing, documentation |
| **N-Triples** | 🟡 Fair | ✅ Excellent | 🟡 Fair | None | Streaming, line-by-line processing |
| **JSON-LD** | 🟡 Fair | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Excellent | Good | Web APIs, JavaScript |
| **RDF/XML** | ❌ Poor | ✅ Good | 🟡 Fair | Fair | Legacy systems, XML tools |
| **N3** | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Good | 🟡 Fair | Best | Advanced logic, rules |
| **TriG** | ✅ Good | ✅ Good | 🟡 Fair | Best | Named graphs, datasets |
| **TriX** | ❌ Poor | ✅ Good | 🟡 Fair | Poor | XML + named graphs |

**Recommendations**:
- **Development/Documentation**: Use Turtle (most readable)
- **Web APIs**: Use JSON-LD (web-native)
- **Bulk Processing**: Use N-Triples (line-based, streaming)
- **SPARQL Queries**: Load Turtle or TriG into triplestore
- **Legacy Integration**: Use RDF/XML if required

## SPARQL Query Examples

### Query 1: Find All Legal Entity Types

```sparql
PREFIX heritage: <https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

SELECT ?type ?label ?description
WHERE {
  ?type a heritage:LegalEntityType .
  OPTIONAL { ?type rdfs:label ?label }
  OPTIONAL { ?type heritage:description ?description }
}
```

### Query 2: Find All Classes with Legal Form

```sparql
PREFIX heritage: <https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

SELECT ?class ?label
WHERE {
  ?class rdfs:subClassOf* heritage:CustodianReconstruction .
  ?class rdfs:label ?label .
  FILTER EXISTS { ?class heritage:legal_form ?form }
}
```

### Query 3: List All Slots with ISO 20275 Mapping

```sparql
PREFIX heritage: <https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/>
PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX rov: <http://www.w3.org/ns/regorg#>

SELECT ?slot ?label ?mapping
WHERE {
  ?slot a heritage:Slot .
  ?slot rdfs:label ?label .
  ?slot skos:exactMatch|skos:closeMatch ?mapping .
  FILTER (CONTAINS(STR(?mapping), "regorg"))
}
```

## Tools Used

| Tool | Version | Purpose |
|------|---------|---------|
| `gen-owl` | linkml 1.9.5 | Generate OWL from LinkML |
| `rdfpipe` | rdflib (Python) | Convert RDF formats |
| `rdflib` | Python package | Validate RDF syntax |
| Manual authoring | - | Create UML diagrams |

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: gen-owl warnings in output

**Problem**: `gen-owl` outputs warnings to stdout, corrupting Turtle file

**Solution**: Redirect stderr to /dev/null:
```bash
gen-owl -f ttl schema.yaml 2>/dev/null > output.ttl
```

### Issue: gen-plantuml/gen-yuml fail with modular schema

**Problem**: LinkML generators don't support modular imports properly

**Solution**: Manually author UML diagrams based on schema structure

### Issue: rdfpipe parsing errors

**Problem**: Turtle file contains non-RDF content (warnings)

**Solution**: Regenerate Turtle cleanly with stderr suppressed
