Hi Flavio,

We don't have a specific example for generating RDF graphs using Gelly, but
I will try to drop some lines of code here and hope you will find them
useful.

An RDF statement is formed of Subject - Predicate - Object triples. In Edge
notation, the Subject and the Object will be the source and target vertices
respectively, while the edge value will be the predicate.

This being said, say you have an input plain text file that represents the
edges.
A line would look like this : http://test/Frank, marriedWith,
http://test/Mary

This is internally coded in Flink like a Tuple3. So, to read this edge file
you should have something like this:

private static DataSet<Edge<String, String>>
getEdgesDataSet(ExecutionEnvironment env) {
   if (fileOutput) {
      return env.readCsvFile(edgesInputPath)
            .lineDelimiter("\n")

            // the subject, predicate, object

            .types(String.class, String.class, String.class)
            .map(new MapFunction<Tuple3<String, String, String>,
                                                      Edge<String, String>>() {

               @Override
               public Edge<String, String> map(Tuple3<String, String,
String> tuple3) throws Exception {
                  return new Edge(tuple3.f0, tuple3.f2, tuple3.f1);
               }
            });
   } else {
      return getDefaultEdges(env);
   }
}

After you have this, in your main method, you just write:
Graph<Long, String, String> rdfGraph = Graph.fromDataSet(edges, env);

I picked up the conversation later on, not sure if that's what you meant by
"graph generation"...

Cheers,
Andra
