Precis is (primarily) an Ontology for modeling personal professional metadata. That is, it provides functionality to track metadata such as Degrees, Courses, Portfolio Items (Publications, Projects, Talks), Work Experience, etc.
In addition to the Precis Ontology modeling personal metadata, the Precis toolkit extends this Ontology by providing additional functionality, specifically:
- JSON Loading tool, to ingest data into the Precis Ontology (outputs RDF)
- Simple Pythonic Query API for information stored in the Ontology
- Extensible templating engine (for CV/Resume generation), built with Jinja
Each of these functions are illustrated below in the Quickstart Guide.
Note: This document is still under construction
This section is advanced documentation for specific topics in Precis.
A description of the underlying Precis ontology. Details each of the individual concepts, object properties and data properties comprising the ontology.
The Makefile contains useful recipes for local development.
