To run any command you need to create a directory with file pom.xml copied from one of the demos. This pom.xml contains a dependency to AnnoCultor that allows downloading all necessary jar files.
In practice, we often get huge XML files as input, that cannot be opened in XML editors. These files are generated from databases and may even have no formatting or no single line break.
AnnoCultor allows you to generate a pretty-print version of these XML dumps that is suitable for viewing.
A sample command line to pretty print an XML document may be like this (single line):
mvn exec:exec -Dexec.args=" -cp %%classpath -Xmx1024m eu.annocultor.xconverter.impl.PrettyPrinter -fn sample*.xml"
This command parses all XML files prefixed with sample and produces XML files with affix .pretty
Generates a report on an XML file. This report lists all XML tags, the number of different values they take, and most frequently used values. Tags with unique values are specially labeled, and they form the first candidate for a record identifying tag (id).
To same runtime memory, all long values are merged in to a single value called Long value.
Running the analyser can be done with the following line (single line):
mvn exec:exec -Dexec.args=" -cp %%classpath -Xmx1024m eu.annocultor.xconverter.impl.Analyser -fn ../rdf/collections/xml/sample*.xml -maxValueSize 100 -maxValues 10"
And it should generate the RDF file ../rdf/collections/doc/xml.analyse.rdf with the report and its human-friendly version in ../rdf/collections/doc/xml.analyse.html.
Parameters maxValueSize and maxValues are optional.
