Watching Maven Repositories for Changes

A maven repository itself cannot be queried with SPARQL directly. However, we can easily scan a repository folder recursively for all existing DCAT files and index them in a triple store. Using a recursive directory watch we can also capture all future changes.

sudo apt-get install inotify-tools

• Set up a watch for files that are closed after being written to

  inotifywait ~/.m2/repository --recursive --monitor --event CLOSE_WRITE
