Mappings where intended to be used when an entity was copied from a referenced site to the entityhub e.g. when calling curl "http://localhost:8080/entityhub/lookup/?id=http://dbpedia.org/resource/Paris&create=true"; this would copy the data of dbpedia:Paris to the entityhub and create an mapping to the original site. Mappings between two referenced sites are not possible. Regarding the RESTful API: The documentation as of http://wiki.iks-project.eu/index.php/RickRESTfullApi#.2Fmapping.3Fid.3D.7Buri.7D is still valid. However AFAIK this feature/service of the Entityhub is not used at the moment. > However, I did not find much about the mappings themselves, is > http://wiki.iks-project.eu/index.php/RepresentationMapping still an > up-to-date documentation of the mapping language? > This describes the syntax of the mapping language that can be used to specify what data (properties) of an Entity are cached/indexed for an Entity. It is totally unrelated to the "/entityhub/mapping" restful service best Rupert > Best > Melanie -- | Rupert Westenthaler [email protected] | Bodenlehenstraße 11 ++43-699-11108907 | A-5500 Bischofshofen
