I have the following XML which I want to parse using Python's ElementTree
:
<rdf:RDF xml:base="http://dbpedia.org/ontology/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns="http://dbpedia.org/ontology/"><owl:Class rdf:about="http://dbpedia.org/ontology/BasketballLeague"><rdfs:label xml:lang="en">basketball league</rdfs:label><rdfs:comment xml:lang="en"> a group of sports teams that compete against each other in Basketball</rdfs:comment></owl:Class></rdf:RDF>
I want to find all owl:Class
tags and then extract the value of all rdfs:label
instances inside them. I am using the following code:
tree = ET.parse("filename")root = tree.getroot()root.findall('owl:Class')
Because of the namespace, I am getting the following error.
SyntaxError: prefix 'owl' not found in prefix map
I tried reading the document at http://effbot.org/zone/element-namespaces.htm but I am still not able to get this working since the above XML has multiple nested namespaces.
Kindly let me know how to change the code to find all the owl:Class
tags.
