population_import API method                              latest update: 2008-02-22

The population_import API method:

• pulls an RDF/XML file from its source;
• parses that file and checks it for well-formedness, and rejects it when not;
• converts the file to quads;
• stores these quads in the "populations" section of the destination façade;
• checks the validity of the data against the applicable OWL schemas;
• if invalid rejects the entire file;
• removes any duplicates from the "populations" section;
• creates a "feedback" report, refers to this in an instance of template oim:ST-FACADE-2311-001, and stores this in the "populations" section (NOTE).

NOTE - In the instance of template type &oim:ST-TRANSFER_FILE-0099-001, as stored in the "populations" section of the receiving façade, there is an instance of Activity listed. That is the transmitting activity. This "feedback" report is "involved_by_reference" in this activity. Generic template class ST-2311 represents involvement by reference in an activity.
