This repository contains all the Zarr converters for the different data types in the Cat+ project (Agilent, UV, IR, etc.) The data types are all in different formats, their data and metadata colluded together. The goal will be to convert the metadata to an established ontology, and -as much as data format allow- convert the data in Zarr array.
The Synth-converter parses a json input into an rdf graph and serializes the graph to either turtle or jsonld.
It expects the input to conform to the cat+ ontology and the struct synth-converter/src/batch.rs. An example input file is provided in example/1-Synth.json.
The synth-converter has three parameters:
- inputfile: path to input file (relative to top level of the repo or absolute)
- outputfile: path to output file (relative to top level of the repo or absolute)
- format: default is "ttl", the other option is jsonld
The synth-converter turns the inputfile into a rdf graph and serilizes it to either turtle or jsonld. The serialization is written to an outputfile.
just run example/1-Synth.json output.ttl
just run example/1-Synth.json output.json --format jsonld
The json input is read with serde_json: the transformation of fields is described in the struct synth-converter/src/batch.rs
The graph is build via synth-converter/src/graph/graph_builder.rs and uses sophia_rs. Besides rdf and xsd that have build in namespaces in sophia_rs, all namespaces and terms are provided in synth-converter/src/graph/namespaces as constants. This makes the code more readable and also ensures that the rdf iris and namespaces are controlled and spelt correctly.
Graph serializers and parsers are provided in synth-converter/src/rdf. The turtle serializer there is needed for the test.
The conversion is done in the public crate synth-converter/src/convert.rs
The rdf graph confirms to the cat+ ontology: https://github.com/sdsc-ordes/cat-plus-ontology. Currently rust offeres no Shacl Validation Library, but once such a library exists, it would make sense to add a Shacl Validation.
TheShacl Validation can be done manually here: https://www.itb.ec.europa.eu/shacl/any/upload
The repo is setup with nix.
git clone [email protected]:sdsc-ordes/cat-plus-zarr-converters.git
cd cat-plus-zarr-converters
cargo build
From here on you can work with a just file:
The rust commands can be started via a justfile:
just --list
Available recipes:
build *args # Build the synth-converter.
default # Default recipe to list all recipes.
nix-develop *args # Enter a Nix development shell.
run input_file output_file *args # Run the synth-converter.
test *args # Test the synth-converter.
fmt *arg # Format the synth-converter.
Run the tests with just test: only integration tests have been integrated that ensure that the serialized graph in turtle is isomorphic to an expected turtle serialization per valid substructure of the input data: this substructures are action that occur in the synthesis process.
The repo is a Poc under heavy development and not yet ready to take contributions.
