Download URL

The BALD CLI and library allow you to specify a download URL for the given NetCDF file, as described in the draft specification.

If you don’t specify a download URL, but the given location of the NetCDF file is a remote URL (ie. it has http or https scheme), then the download URL will be inferred to be the same.

CLI

You can optionally provide the download URL as a command line argument. Use the --download or -d option to specify the download URL for the NetCDF file.

Example

java -jar bald-cli.jar --download http://test.binary-array-ld.net/download/netcdf.nc /path/to/netcdf.nc /path/to/graph.ttl

Library

You can optionally provide the download URL as a parameter to the NetCdfBinaryArray.create method. Otherwise, you can simply pass in a null value.

Example

String downloadUrl = "http://test.binary-array-ld.net/download/netcdf.nc";
URI input = new File("/path/to/input.nc").toURI();
Model model = NetCdfLdConverter.Companion.getInstance().convert(input, "http://test.binary-array-ld.net/example", null, null, downloadUrl);

try (OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream("/path/to/output.ttl")) {
    model.write(output, "ttl");
}
