PeriodO validation

SHACL data shapes for validating PeriodO data, and a CLI for running the validation against the canonical or local development files.

Usage

Validate the current canonical PeriodO data set (http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0d.json) against the current published data shapes from the PeriodO vocabulary (http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0v):

./validate

Validate a local data set against the current published data shapes from the PeriodO vocabulary (http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0v):

./validate data.ttl moredata.jsonld

Validate the current canonical PeriodO data set (http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0d.json) against data shape files from a local directory:

./validate --shapes path/to/shapes_dir

Validate a local data set against data shape files from a local directory:

./validate --shapes path/to/shapes_dir data.ttl moredata.jsonld

Validate a remote data set against the current published data shapes from the PeriodO vocabulary (http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0v), but ignoring the constraints listed in removed.ttl:

curl -s -L 'http://example.org/periodo-data.json' | ./validate - --remove removed.ttl

You can get JSON output using the -json option and group constraint violations using jq and the report.jq script:

./validate --json | jq -f report.jq > report.json

Typical workflow

  1. Verify that the current dataset is valid with respect to the current shapes (in the periodo-server/shapes directory). The following should produce no output:

    ./validate --shapes ../periodo-server/shapes

  2. Add and/or remove some constraints to the current set. The following should produce a list of violations of the new constraints, if there are any:

    ./validate --shapes ../periodo-server/shapes --shapes added.ttl \
    --remove removed.ttl

  3. Modify the dataset so that it no longer violates the new constraints. The following will produce no output, if the violations have all been resolved in fixed-dataset.json:

    cat fixed-dataset.json \
    | ./validate - --shapes ../periodo-server/shapes --shapes added.ttl \
    --remove removed.ttl

Bash CLI

try is a Bash script for managing the canonical PeriodO data using the workflow described above: Usage: ./try {new|without-patch|with-patch|accept} <proposed change> <proposed change> should be one of the proposed changes.
