Add linked data context to research activity data and create JSON-LD documents

The link command augments research activity data (RAD), as provided by a human user, with linked data context and outputs JSON-LD documents. This process involves mapping the input data to established ontologies and vocabularies, thereby enhancing its interoperability and semantic richness.

ACORN enables ingesting RAD in a sort of “pre-compacted” format. The link command makes the input RAD machine-readable, ready for programmatic expansion.

Tip

Linked Data empowers people that publish and use information on the Web. It is a way to create a network of standards-based, machine-readable data across Web sites.

Example Usage

# Link a specific research activity index
acorn link path/to/project/index.json

# Link all research activity data in a directory
acorn link path/to/project/

Tip

The link command is almost identical in usage to the format command, complete with support for the --dry-run flag to preview changes without creating files.
