I am using Jena TDB (1.1.1) to store a set of named graphs. Everything works fine but whenever I retrieve a named graph from the the dataset, all the namespace prefix information is lost. Is there a way to preserve the namespace prefixes in the original RDF graph.
Following code snippet shows the issue.
@Test
public void testPreserveNsPrefixes(){
String modelText = "@prefix ro: <http://purl.org/wf4ever/ro#> ." +
"@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/> ." +
"@prefix ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#> ." +
"<http://example.org/ro> a ore:Aggregation , ro:ResearchObject , ldp:DirectContainer .\n" ;
// Build the RDF graph
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(modelText.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
model.read(stream, null, "TURTLE");
System.out.println("NS prefix count: " + model.getNsPrefixMap().size());
//Create a dataset
Dataset dataset = TDBFactory.createDataset("test");
// Add the RDF graph to the dataset
dataset.begin(ReadWrite.WRITE) ;
try {
dataset.addNamedModel("http://example.org/ro", model);
dataset.commit() ;
} finally {
dataset.end() ;
}
//Read the RDF graph again
dataset.begin(ReadWrite.READ);
try{
Model model2 = dataset.getNamedModel("http://example.org/ro");
model2.write(System.out, "TURTLE");
System.out.println("NS prefix count: " + model2.getNsPrefixMap().size());
} finally {
dataset.end();
}
}
The output of this is:
NS prefix count: 3
<http://example.org/ro>
a <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#DirectContainer> ,
<http://purl.org/wf4ever/ro#ResearchObject> ,
<http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/Aggregation> .
NS prefix count: 0
I think is related to this question though I don't think it is an exact duplicate.
