WoTIS - Web of Things Integrated Schemas

WoTIS - work in progress!

The aim of this repository is to simplify the current tooling required for generating the WoT Thing Description (TD) specification and related resources. WoTIS toolchain is a python-based project designed to automate the generation of: 1) WoT resources: SHACL Shapes, JSON Schema, JSON-LD context, RDF, and visual figures 2) Documentation: TD specification and ontology specifications

This project leverages LinkML for modelling the Web of Things Thing Description information model.

Process Overview

Below is a simplified overview of the process:

Step 1: Generate WoT resources using WoTIS

Step 2: Generate the final WoT TD specification document using the generated WoT resources along with a static index.html

Prerequisites

The uv package manager.

Quick Start

Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description-toolchain-tmp.git
cd wot-thing-description-toolchain-tmp

Install the package or run it by executing
```
uv run wotis
```

Usage

See the list of all WoTIS commands:

wotis --help

Generate WoT resources (RDF, JSON-LD Context, SHACL Shapes, and JSON Schema) from a default LinkML schema:

wotis generate-wot-resources [-i] [-d] [-s] [--help]

options:
  -i, --input_schema       Path to the input schema specified as LinkML yaml.
                           [default: resources/schemas/thing_description.yaml]

  -d, --generate_docs      Boolean for local documentation generation.
  -s, --serve_docs         Boolean for serving the generated documentation.
  --help                   Show this help message and exit.

Examples

Generate documentation using the default schema locally and serve it:

wotis generate-wot-resources -d -s

Default Paths

LinkML schema: resources/schemas/thing_description.yaml
Generated WoT resources: resources/gens
Generated full LinkML schema: resources/gens/linkml
