rdf:type abbreviation "a"

[Leigh Klotz]

Forgive me if this is covered, but it's really hard to search for.  I

'd like to output the "a" abbreviation for rdf:type in as a predicate in Turtle serialization in rdflib.

I couldn't find anything obvious to do it and would up doing this:

class Abbreviation(URIRef):

    def n3(self):

        return str(self)

A = Abbreviation('a')

Is there something obvious I'm overlooking?

Leigh.

Hi Leigh,

Sorry for the late reply.

Actually - the Turtle and N3 Serializers produce "a" for rdf:type out
of the box - you do not need to do anything.

In [1]: import rdflib

In [2]: g=rdflib.Graph()

In [3]: g.add((rdflib.RDF.type, rdflib.RDF.type, rdflib.RDF.Property))

In [4]: g.serialize(format='turtle')
Out[4]: '@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
.\n\nrdf:type a rdf:Property .\n\n'


Can you give us an example where it doesn't work?

- Gunnar
