Conversion trigger

Conversion trigger is a metaphor for the shell script created once and executed one or more times to invoke the conversion process. The conversion trigger is placed within a conversion cockpit, a directory dedicated to converting data files retrieved from a particular source organization. Once created, the trigger is used to create verbatim conversions and enhancement 1 conversions automatically. Creating additional enhancement conversions can be done with the parameter -e, e.g. ./convert-mydataset.sh -e 2.

Notes

• The surrogate variable is an old name for base_uri. It was originally named surrogate because csv2rdf4lod is designed aggregate data from third party source organizations and republish RDF representations to third party consumers. base_uri is the web host that csv2rdf4lod users will provide their data, which acts as a surrogate for the third party source organizations that have not adopted linked data publishing principles. The values of base_uri are drawn from the shell environment variable CSV2RDF4LOD_BASE_URI.
