PDOK geopackage-validator

TestsPyPI version

Geopackages are a data format that have a deliberately broad application, so many of the requirements are dependend on your use.

The PDOK geopackage validator is used by PDOK. PDOK is part of the Dutch government. This geopackage validator is used to validate a set of requirements to make sure geopackages adhere to our standardized ETL pipeline. It is possible to use this for your own purposes as described here. The validations will not change (except for bugfixes); new validations are always added to the list. In case you are looking for a more generic validator. These do exist and can be found:

TL;DR Commands

Either run through docker or locally.

Docker

Validate a GeoPackage with the default set of validation rules:

gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
docker run -v "$(pwd)":/gpkg --rm pdok/geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" 

Validate a GeoPackage with the default set of validation rules including a schema:

schema_path=relative/path/to/the/schema.json
gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
docker run -v "$(pwd)":/gpkg --rm pdok/geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" --table-definitions-path "/gpkg/${schema_path}" 

Generate a schema:

schema_path=relative/path/to/the/schema.json
gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
docker run -v "$(pwd)":/gpkg --rm pdok/geopackage-validator generate-definitions --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" > "$schema_path" 

Local

For a local setup we require/tested against python > 3.6 and gdal = 3.4.

gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" 

Validate a GeoPackage with the default set of validation rules including a schema:

schema_path=relative/path/to/the/schema.json
gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" --table-definitions-path "/gpkg/${schema_path}" 

Generate a schema:

schema_path=relative/path/to/the/schema.json
gpkg_path=relative/path/to/the.gpkg
geopackage-validator generate-definitions --gpkg-path "/gpkg/${gpkg_path}" > "$schema_path" 

What does it do

The Geopackage validator can validate .gkpg files to see if they conform to a set of standards. The current checks are (see also the 'show-validations' command):

Validation code** Description
UNKNOWN_ERROR No unexpected (GDAL) errors must occur.
RQ0 LEGACY: use RQ8 * Geopackage must conform to table names in the given JSON or YAML definitions.
RQ1 Layer names must start with a letter, and valid characters are lowercase a-z, numbers or underscores.
RQ2 Layers must have at least one feature.
RQ3 LEGACY: use RQ14 * Layer features should have an allowed geometry_type (one of POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINESTRING, or MULTIPOLYGON).
RQ4 The geopackage should have no views defined.
RQ5 LEGACY: use RQ23 * Geometry should be valid.
RQ6 Column names must start with a letter, and valid characters are lowercase a-z, numbers or underscores.
RQ7 Tables should have a feature id column with unique index.
RQ8 Geopackage must conform to given JSON or YAML definitions.
RQ9 All geometry tables must have an rtree index.
RQ10 All geometry table rtree indexes must be valid.
RQ11 OGR indexed feature counts must be up to date.
RQ12 LEGACY: use RQ22 * Only the following EPSG spatial reference systems are allowed: 28992, 3034, 3035, 3038, 3039, 3040, 3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045, 3046, 3047, 3048, 3049, 3050, 3051, 4258, 4936, 4937, 5730, 7409.
RQ13 It is required to give all GEOMETRY features the same default spatial reference system.
RQ14 The geometry_type_name from the gpkg_geometry_columns table must be one of POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINESTRING, or MULTIPOLYGON.
RQ15 All table geometries must match the geometry_type_name from the gpkg_geometry_columns table.
RQ16 LEGACY: use RQ21 * All layer and column names shall not be longer than 53 characters.
RQ21 All layer and column names shall not be longer than 57 characters.
RQ22 Only the following EPSG spatial reference systems are allowed: 28992, 3034, 3035, 3040, 3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045, 3046, 3047, 3048, 3049, 3857, 4258, 4326, 4936, 4937, 5730, 7409.
RQ23 Geometry should be valid and simple.
RC17 It is recommended to name all GEOMETRY type columns 'geom'.
RC18 It is recommended to give all GEOMETRY type columns the same name.
RC19 It is recommended to only use multidimensional geometry coordinates (elevation and measurement) when necessary.
RC20 It is recommended that all (MULTI)POLYGON geometries have a counter-clockwise orientation for their exterior ring, and a clockwise direction for all interior rings.
UNKNOWN_WARNINGS It is recommended that the unexpected (GDAL) warnings are looked into.

* Legacy requirements are only executed with the validate command when explicitly requested in the validation set.
** Since version 0.8.0 the recommendations are part of the same sequence as the requirements. From now on a check will always maintain the integer part of the code. Even if at a later time the validation type can shift between requirement and recommendation.

An explanation in Dutch with a reason for each rule can be found here.

Geopackage versions

The Geopackage validator support the following Geopackage versions:

  • 1.4
  • 1.3.1
  • 1.3
  • 1.2.1

Installation

This package requires:

  • GDAL version >= 3.2.1.
  • Spatialite version >= 5.0.0
  • And python >= 3.8 to run.

We recommend using the docker image. When above requirements are met the package can be installed using pip (pip install pdok-geopackage-validator).

Docker Installation

Pull the latest version of the Docker image (only once needed, or after an update)

docker pull pdok/geopackage-validator:latest

Or build the Docker image from source:

docker build -t pdok/geopackage-validator .

The command is directly called so subcommands can be run in the container directly:

docker run -v ${PWD}:/gpkg --rm pdok/geopackage-validator validate -t /path/to/generated_definitions.json --gpkg-path /gpkg/tests/data/test_allcorrect.gpkg

Usage

RQ8 Validation

To validate RQ8 you have to generate definitions first.

docker run -v ${PWD}:/gpkg --rm pdok/geopackage-validator geopackage-validator generate-definitions --gpkg-path /path/to/file.gpkg

Validate

Usage: geopackage-validator validate [OPTIONS]

  Geopackage validator validating a local file or a file from S3 storage.
  When the filepath is preceded with '/vsis3' or '/vsicurl' the gdal virtual
  file system will be used to access the file on S3 and will not be directly
  downloaded. See https://gdal.org/user/virtual_file_systems.html for
  further explanation how to use gdal virtual file systems. For convenience
  the gdal vsi environment parameters and optional parameters are provided
  with an S3_ instead of an AWS_ prefix. The AWS_ environment parameters
  will also work.

  Examples:

  viscurl:

  geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path /vsicurl/http://minio-
  url.nl/bucketname/key/to/public.gpkg

  vsis3:

  geopackage-validator validate --gpkg-path

  --help               Show this message and exit.

Generate table definitions

Usage: geopackage-validator generate-definitions [OPTIONS]

  Generate table definition for a geopackage on local or S3 storage. Use the
  generated definition JSON or YAML in the validation step by providing the
  table definitions with the --table-definitions-path parameter. When the
  filepath is preceded with '/vsi' the gdal virtual file system method will
  be used to access the file on S3 and will not be directly downloaded. See
  https://gdal.org/user/virtual_file_systems.html for further explanation.
  For convenience the gdal vsi environment parameters and optional
  parameters are provided with an S3_ instead of an AWS_ prefix. The AWS_
  environment parameters will also work.

Local development

We advise using docker-compose for local development. This allows live editing and testing code with the correct gdal/ogr version with spatialite 5.0.0. First build the local image with your machines user id and group id:

docker-compose build --build-arg USER_ID=`id -u` --build-arg GROUP_ID=`id -g`

Usage

There will be a script you can run like this:

docker-compose run --rm validator geopackage-validator

This command has direct access to the files found in this directory. In case you want to point the docker-compose to other files, you can add or edit the volumes in the docker-compose.yaml

Python console

Ipython is available in the docker:

docker-compose run --rm validator ipython

Code style

In order to get nicely formatted python files without having to spend manual work on it, run the following command periodically:

docker-compose run --rm validator black .

Tests

Run the tests regularly. This also checks with pyflakes and black:

docker-compose run --rm validator pytest

Releasing

Release in github by creating a new release in github.
