You can find a tutorial here:\n\n* https://followthemoney.tech/docs/cli/\n\nBesides the introductions, there is also a full reference documentation for the\nlibrary and the contained ontology: \n\n* https://followthemoney.tech/explorer/\n\nThere's also a number of viewers for the RDF schema definitions generated\nfrom FollowTheMoney, e.g.:\n\n* [LODE documentation](http://150.146.207.114/lode/extract?url=https%3A%2F%2Falephdata.github.io%2Ffollowthemoney%2Fns%2Fftm.xml\u0026owlapi=true\u0026imported=true\u0026lang=en)\n* [WebVOWL](https://service.tib.eu/webvowl/#iri=https://alephdata.github.io/followthemoney/ns/ftm.xml)\n* RDF/OWL specification in [XML](https://alephdata.github.io/followthemoney/ns/ftm.xml).\n\n## Development environment\n\nFor local development with a virtualenv:\n\n```bash\npython3 -mvenv .env\nsource .env/bin/activate\npip install -e \".[dev]\"\n```\n\nNow you can run the tests with\n\n```bash\nmake test\n```\n\n## Releasing\n\nWe release a lot of version of `followthemoney` because even small changes\nto the code base require a pypi release to begin being used in `aleph`. To\nthis end, here's the steps for making a release:\n\n```bash\ngit pull --rebase\nmake build\nmake test\ngit add . \u0026\u0026 git commit -m \"Updating translation files\"\nbumpversion patch\ngit push --atomic origin main $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)\n```\n\nThis will create a new patch release and upload a distribution of it. If\nthe changes are more significant, you can run `bumpversion` with the `minor`\nor `major` arguments.\n\nWhen the schema is updated, please update the docs, ideally including the\ndiagrams. For the RDF namespace and JavaScript version of the model, \nrun `make generate`.\n","funding_links":["https://www.occrp.org/en/aboutus/join-the-fight-become-an-occrp-accomplice"],"categories":["Python","others"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falephdata%2Ffollowthemoney","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falephdata%2Ffollowthemoney","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falephdata%2Ffollowthemoney/lists"}
