Export an ontology release

Use ontology__get_export to export a published ontology release for another tool or standards-based consumer.
  • Required inputs: release_id, format, and serialization.
  • Optional inputs: adapter_version, profile, base_iri, session_id, and Gateway’s rationale.
  • Formats: native_json, rdf, or owl.
  • Serializations: json or turtle, subject to the selected format.
  • Effect: read only.
The response includes the exact release ID, source manifest digest, exported document, media type, document digest, adapter version, and a loss report. Inspect that report before giving the document to a consumer: RDF and OWL are supported interchange subsets, not the Registry’s native storage model. Specify adapter_version when reproducibility matters. Use base_iri for RDF or OWL identifiers; it must be an absolute HTTP or HTTPS IRI. Export never changes the release.
