Utility code for metadata models expressed with JSON-schema for JSON-LD instances.

Functionality included:

• validation of JSON schemas and JSON-LD instances against a JSON-schema
• comparison between JSON schemas
• conversion of a generic json-schema, into a CEDAR Workbench template to support instance creation
• CEDAR API function: get folders and templates content, upload or update templates, get users ...

Create and use a virtual environment

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

To run the tests related to the CEDAR client, you will need to:

• make a copy of the /tests/test_config.json.sample file:

cp /tests/test_config.json.sample /tests/test_config.json

and configure a few variables in your local file /tests/test_config.json.

You will need to provide:

• your staging and production CEDAR API keys (include the key string in the corresponding attribute)
• an existing and valid CEDAR folder ID on which you can read/write content on the production server
• an existing and valid CEDAR template ID on which you can read/write content on the production server
• a valid user ID which will become the author of created content (UUID on your CEDAR user profile page, https://cedar.metadatacenter.org/profile)

You can also configure the "example_template_file_no_id" and "example_template_file_with_id" file path to point to other local JSON schemas. These two schemas are needed for the following cases:

• when creating a new template on the server, a schema without an ID is necessary (the ID will be automatically given by the server);
• when updating a template, the ID is retrieved automatically from the file and the corresponding template gets updated on the server.
