FLICKRDF(1)

💖 FLICKRDF 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little icon flickrdf from the General Commands Manual is about to change your whole RDF game. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

flickrdf — call Flickr API. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

flickrdf [-d DELAY] [-a FROB] [-h] [-v]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — flickrdf is a utility that uses the photos.getInfo API to interpret the description fields and the tags for a photo URI, and turns all of that into RDF triples. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and listen — if raptor is present, it will be used to provide proper serializing to RDF, rather than the built in and, and I quote, hacky ntriples/turtle output. we love a glow-up 🫶

now, machine tags? when they are found, they get scanned for xmlns:prefix=uri, and then all other machine tags with that prefix turn into triples. several prefixes are also pre-defined by the library to automatically get turned into triples without an xmlns, such as blue:, cell:, filter: and geo:. obsessed with them fr fr.

non-machine tags are not yet interpreted. she's not there yet, give her time 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below, and yes we're going through every single one, no skipping 💖

• -h, --help — show summary of options and exit. the classic "help me pls" button, she delivers 🌈
• -v, --version — display the version of the program and exit. vibe check on which build you're running ✨
• -d DELAY, --delay DELAY — set delay between requests to DELAY milliseconds. be nice to the servers, bestie, pacing is self-care 🧚
• -D, --debug — print lots of debugging output. she will be so loud about what she's doing, and honestly? we stan 💀
• -o, --output FORMAT — set output format to FORMAT. FORMAT is one of:
  • ntriples — N-Triples (default) 👑
  • turtle — Turtle 🐢
  • rdfxml-xmp — RDF/XML (XMP Profile)
  • rdfxml-abbrev — RDF/XML (Abbreviated)
  • rdfxml — RDF/XML
  • rss-1.0 — RSS 1.0
  • dot — GraphViz DOT format

the exact list depends on the version of Raptor that flickcurl is linked against. so like, if your fave isn't on the menu, that's a Raptor thing, not a you thing 🙈
