The Take Home Database

All knot data on the Knot Atlas is now available as a take-home database file in compressed RDF (Resource Description Framework) format. Load it and use it as follows.

Loading

Pick up the full untreated unsorted monster katlas.rdf.gz and save it somewhere where you have a lot of space; it is almost 50MB compressed and almost 400MB uncompressed.

Alternatively, pick up one of the sorted smaller pieces:

• Rolfsen.rdf.gz (1MB/5MB) - Data from The Rolfsen Knot Table.

The Jones polynomial of 10_71:

[drorbn@katlas ~/TakeHomeDatabase]$ zgrep 10_71 Rolfsen.rdf.gz | grep Jones_Polynomial
<knot:10_71> <invariant:Jones_Polynomial> "<math>-q^5+3 q^4-6 q^3+10 q^2-12 q+13-12 q^{-1} +10 q^{-2} -6 q^{-3} +3 q^{-4} - q^{-5} </math>" .

The first few invariants (lexicographically) of 10_71:

[drorbn@katlas ~/TakeHomeDatabase]$ zgrep 10_71 Rolfsen.rdf.gz | head
