excelparser

Module from parsing an excelfile and creating an ontology from it.

The excelfile is read by pandas and the pandas dataframe should have column names: prefLabel, altLabel, Elucidation, Comments, Examples, subClassOf, Relations.

Note that correct case is mandatory.

ExcelError (EMMOntoPyException)

Raised on errors in Excel file.

Source code in ontopy/excelparser.py
class ExcelError(EMMOntoPyException):
    """Raised on errors in Excel file."""

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
