Export > Export as an RDF File

This feature from the Export Tab can be used to download RDF files with the same contents as the asset collection (or workflow).

The supported file formats are JSON-LD, N-Triples RDF/XML and Turtle.

For Turtle notation, there are options to produce Sorted Turtle which is using predictable output in which assets are sorted alphabetically. This means that the resulting files are suitable to be compared with previous versions, esp on concurrent versioning systems like Git.

The Sorted Turtle+ is a variation of Sorted Turtle that uses a non-standard format for saving reified triples.

The exporter has two options:

• Keep EDG-specific triples about the asset-collection type - when left unchecked, the output will drop certain triples that are attached to the owl:Ontology. You typically do not need those, esp from external applications.

• Include inferred statements from SHACL rules - when left unchecked, only the asserted triples will be exported. The system will otherwise first run the rules, which may take some time.
