data-dict
data-dict.yaml is a lightweight YAML
specification for data dictionaries: it describes a collection of related
tables — their columns, types, constraints, relationships, and glossary — in one
file that both people and tools can read. data-dict is the command line tool
that validates such a file against the specification, against a dataset's
metadata, and against the data itself.
Install
uv tool install data-dict-yaml
The installed command is data-dict. The wheels ship the prebuilt binary, so
there is nothing to compile and no Rust toolchain to install. They cover macOS
(Apple silicon and Intel), Linux (x86_64 and aarch64, glibc and musl alike),
and Windows (x86_64).
Use
data-dict validate-spec data-dict.yaml
data-dict validate-data data-dict.yaml
validate-spec checks the dictionary against the specification,
validate-meta additionally checks it against a dataset's schema, and
validate-data also checks the rows. Diagnostics point at the offending line
and explain what was expected. The tool can also draft a dictionary from a
dataset, render one to HTML, export it as JSON, and translate its expressions
to R, Python, or SQL. Run data-dict --help for the full list.
See https://data-dict.tidyverse.org for the specification, the list of validation checks, and the other install options. Source and issues: https://github.com/tidyverse/data-dict.
