SGoV Validator

This repository contains validation rules for SGoV (it was delimited out of https://github.com/opendata-mvcr/sgov). It contains SHACL rules and a simple wrapper to evaluate them over a Jena model.

SGoV Validation

The project contains a standalone validator for validating Semantic Government Vocabulary (SGoV). It includes checking consistency and compliance of glossaries and models according to predefined rules. These rules check:

• glossaries - e.g. "each glossary concept at least one skos:prefLabel"
• models - e.g. OntoUML relationships like "each Role concept must (transitively) inherit from a Kind concept"
• interplay between glossaries and models - e.g. "each glossary concept should be used in the model"

Proposing validation changes

The best way to propose validation rule changes is to:

1. create a new issue using template 'Validation Change Request' template. Describe (i) why a you request to change validation (to add a new rule/change an existing one), (ii) describe use-case/example. The issue is given a number
2. create a new branch of the form '-'
3. implement the changes and create a pull request. If the pull request passes all automatic checks, ask one of the maintainers to approve.
4. Once approved, merge PR into master

Running the test cases

gradle test

Intellij Idea

To manage source code it is recommended to install plugins:

• CheckStyle

Static code analysis rules are defined in file ./config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml. In order to set up this checkstyle in Intellij Idea IDE following steps are recommended:

1. Import the file into project checkstyle scheme using Settings/Editor/Code Style/Java/Import Scheme/Checkstyle configuration.
2. Install checkstyle plugin CheckStyle-IDEA
3. Configure the plugin by adding checkstyle.xml into Settings/Other Settings/Checkstyle/Configuration file
