In this repository we develop the Cube Schema model.
@prefix cube: <https://cube.link/>.
DRAFT: https://zazuko.github.io/cube-link/
The validation directory contains various SHACL Shapes which can be used to ensure the correctness of datasets, cubes, hierarchies, and other.
They can be retrieved from the web using a URI in the form of https://cube.link/{VERSION}/shape/{PROFILE}, where the {PROFILE} variable is replaced with any of the shape documents (without .ttl) and the {VERSION} variable is replaced with any tag name or the word latest.
It is recommended to always use a specific version to avoid breaking changes.
For example, to get version 0.0.4 of standalone-cube-constraint.ttl, fetch https://cube.link/v0.0.4/shape/standalone-cube-constraint .
Otherwise, to get the latest version, fetch https://cube.link/latest/shape/standalone-cube-constraint instead.
Finally, it is possible to request shapes from a branch or specific commit by building the URI as /ref/{REF}/shape/....
For example, to get the standalone-cube-constraint shape from the main branch, fetch https://cube.link/ref/main/shape/standalone-cube-constraint and to get it from the commit a1b2c3d4e5f6, fetch https://cube.link/ref/a1b2c3d4e5f6/shape/standalone-cube-constraint .
| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
| standalone-cube-constraint | Standard cube profile with minimal metadata |
| standalone-constraint-constraint | Minimal dimensions metadata. Included in standalone-cube-constraint |
| profile-opendataswiss | Cube metadata profile which follows the Opendata.swiss Handbook. Extends standalone-cube-constraint |
| profile-opendataswiss-lindas | Cube metadata for cubes published to Opendata.swiss from Lindas |
| profile-visualize | Cube metadata for cubes published to Visualize |
| basic-cube-constraint | Minimum cube. This typically isn't used directly |

Automatic tests exist to validate cube constraints against maintained profiles, as well as tests checking the observation against given cube constraints.
./test/check-metadata.sh --profile=$PROFILE$PROFILE must be the name of one of the profiles in the validation directory (without extension).
Test cases are turtle file under test/$PROFILE directory.
It is also possible to run only a subset of tests by providing a --filter argument. This argument
is a regular expression that is matched against the file name. For example, to run only basic-cube-constraint
tests which include the word "undefined":
./test/check-metadata.sh --profile=basic-cube-constraint --filter=undefined./test/check-observations.shTest cases are turtle file under test/observations directory.
This script also supports a --filter argument.
Both scripts allow a --approved flag to force-approve the current output as valid in case of differences.
