# arc-validate

Home of all the tools and libraries to create and run validation of ARCs:

• ARCExpect (docs :notebook:) - easy to use and understand APIs to create and execute validation cases.
• ARCValidationPackages (docs :notebook:) - package for installing, updating, and executing ARC validation packages.
• arc-validate/ (docs :notebook:) - CLI tool that offers commands for validating ARCs and managing validation packages.

Docker container

This repository provides a docker container that has the arc-validate tool pre-installed for using it in DataHUB-CI jobs.

Use the containers tagged with main for production use.

Project aim

Validation of ARCs based on:

• ARCTokenization: Structural ontologies for file formats (for parsing/tokenizing files): INVMSO, STDMSO, ASSMSO
• OBO.NET:
  • parsing ontologies, generation of OBO graphs based on ontology term relation
  • code genearation of ontology modules with accessible terms
• ARCGraph: Graph representation of file content based on structural ontologies via OBO graph
• Graph-based completion of File content (missing cells -> empty tokens) via ARCGraph
• ARCExpect: Expecto-like API for creating validation cases
• Validation Packages: API for installing and executing additional validation packages
