Make sure you have Python (≥ 3.11) and Poetry installed.
Run poetry install
to have it set up a virtual environment for you with the necessary dependencies installed and configuration taken care of.
cim2linkml
Activate your virtual environment and you should be able to use the cim2linkml
script.
$ poetry shell
$ cim2linkml --help
# ...
poetry run
You can also run the script inside the virtual environment without activating it.
$ poetry run cim2linkml --help
# ...
Usage: cim2linkml [OPTIONS] QEA_FILE
Generates LinkML schemas from the supplied Sparx EA QEA database file.
You can specify which packages in the UML model to generate schemas from
using the `--package` parameter, where you provide the fully qualified
package name (e.g. `TC57CIM.IEC61970.Base.Core') of the package to select
it.
If the specified package is a leaf package, a single schema file will be
generated.
If the provided package is a non-leaf package, by default its subpackages
are included and a schema file per package is created. A single schema file
can also be created by passing `--single-schema'. Finally, it's possible to
ignore all subpackages and create a single schema file just for the
specified package alone. To achieve this, pass `--ignore-subpackages'.
Options:
-p, --package TEXT Fully qualified package name. [default: TC57CIM]
--single-schema If true, a single schema is created, a schema per
package otherwise.
--ignore-subpackages If passed, all subpackages of the provided package
are ignored, i.e. only the package itself is
selected.
-o, --output-dir PATH Directory where schemas will be outputted. [default:
schemas]
--help Show this message and exit.
If no package is specified, it defaults to TC57CIM, i.e. the entire CIM. For non-leaf packages like this one, the default behavior is to generate a schema for each subpackage.
$ cim2linkml data/cim.qea
If generating a single schema file is desired, this can be done as follows:
$ cim2linkml data/cim.qea --single-schema
Leaf peackages by definition don't have subpackages and therefore always become a single schema.
$ cim2linkml data/cim.qea -p TC57CIM.IEC61970.Base.Wires
By default, when providing a non-leaf package, all subpackages are included and schema files are created for each package.
$ cim2linkml data/cim.qea -p TC57CIM.IEC61970
If a single schema file is desired, --single-schema
can be passed.
If only selecting the package itself is desired, i.e. not including subpackages, one can pass --ignore-subpackages
.
Note that in this case, it is always a single schema file (--single-schema
is implied).
$ cim2linkml data/cim.qea -p TC57CIM.IEC61970 --ignore-subpackages
