Linked Data Service Trouble (Library of Congress, LOC)

Omeka S
1

Good day,

I am trying to import a vocabulary from the Library of Congress linked data service page, the MARC Relator list. I have also tried to use the Linked Open Vocabulary site’s page, also to no avail.

Whenever I try to save the “Vocabulary URL” as .json or .nt I just get the basic red error banner with “error importing vocabulary. check the file or URL”

The only constructive error message I receive is from this input:

Label- MARC Relator
Namespace URI- Relators - LC Linked Data Service: Authorities and Vocabularies | Library of Congress
Namespace Prefix- mrel
Vocabulary URL- http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators.rdf

and the error displayed is:
<InvalidArgumentException: $value cannot have both and language and a datatype in /home/grenadev/lucipac.org/vendor/sweetrdf/easyrdf/lib/Graph.php:579

This worked for me:

  • Label: MARC Relator
  • Namespace URI: http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/
  • Namespace prefix: mrel
  • Import type: URL
  • File URL: https://lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov/vocabs/mrel/versions/2014-06-03.n3
  • File format: Notation3 (.n3)

Thanks for your reply JimSafley,

I just tried that and it gave me the default red banner “error importing vocabulary, check file or URL”

.n3 is a file type that I am unfamiliar with and do not know how to teach it to OmekaS.

I tried adding n3 into the acceptable file types in the Admin settings, but that didn’t seem to help.

What version of Omeka are you using? Make sure you have a trailing forward slash on the namespace URI. You need not be concerned about whether Omeka accepts a n3 file type.

5

Unfortunately, no dice. Same default error message after ensuring the “/” at the end of the namespace URI.

I’m using Omeka S Version 4.0.4

Thanks for the info. I’ve reproduced the error. This works for me on Omeka 4.0.4: do the same as above but use file format “Turtle (.ttl)”.

Yay! Success! Thank you JimSafley for your expertise!

P.S. If anyone has found this thread because of the same problem, a note: choose file format “Turtle (.ttl)” from the drop-down menu, but keep the “.n3” file suffix for the File URL input.

Yes, I appreciate the clarification. Note that the import process will be improved in the next version of Omeka.
