SKOS Testing Tool

The SKOS testing tool is live at https://skos-play.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/

The SKOS testing tool is a web frontend for qSKOS. It allows to assess the quality of SKOS or SKOS-XL vocabularies, by submitting a file to be validated or by validating a SKOS file published at a given URL.

Linking directly to a report from a SKOS file URL

• You can create a direct link to the validation report of an online SKOS URL :

  http://labs.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/test?url={url_of_the_SKOS_file}

  • uses the default rule-set

  • returns the result in a format according to the Accept header preference (Accept: text/html, text/plain, application/rdf+xml, text/turtle)

  • returns the result in a language according to the Accept-Language header preference (fr or en)

  e.g. http://labs.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/test?url=http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/resource/authority/continent/skos/continents-skos.rdf

• To customise the ruleset, use the "rules" parameter :

  • use the value "default" for the defautl rule-set (all the rules enabled by default in the application); this excludes rules that take a long time to execute, and rules that are usually not needed;

  • otherwise, use a comma-separated list of rule ids, e.g. "el,ilc,ml";

  • use the value "all" to check all the rules in the application;

  e.g. https://skos-play.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/test?url=http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/resource/authority/continent/skos/continents-skos.rdf&rules=ml,mri,ncl,oc

• To customise the output report format, use either the "Accept" header, or the "format" URL parameter; if present, the "format" URL parameter takes precedence; it can take the following value

  • "html" for the HTML report format ("text/html" in the Accept header)

  • "txt" for the text report format ("text/plain" in the Accept header);

  • "rdf" for the RDF DQV report format in RDF/XML ("application/rdf+xml" in the Accept header);

  • "ttl" for the RDF DQV report format in Turtle ("text/turtle" in the Accept header);

  e.g. http://labs.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/test?url=http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/resource/authority/continent/skos/continents-skos.rdf&format=ttl

• To customise the output report language, use either the "Accept-language" header or the "lang" URL parameter; if present, the "lang" URL parameter takes precedence; they can take the following valuee :

  • fr;

  • en;

  • "en" is assumed for any other value;

  e.g. http://labs.sparna.fr/skos-testing-tool/test?url=http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/resource/authority/continent/skos/continents-skos.rdf&lang=fr
