This Python library contains KUDAF metadata schema definitions and logic that is common and applicable to other KUDAF Python packages

Project description

KUDAF Metadata Library

This package contains the following elements:

  1. Metadata schema definitions for the Kudaf platform, adhering to global standards: a. DCAT-AP-NO standard: Catalog and Dataset metadata, compatible with the requirements of the Norwegian Fellesdatakatalog b. RAIRD standard: Variable metadata

  2. A CLI tool to generate KUDAF Metadata.

It was developed by Sikt - Kunnskapssektorens tjenesteleverandør under the KUDAF initiative to enable a Data Producer to make small-file data available on the KUDAF data-sharing platform.

The CLI can create Catalog, Dataset and Variable-level metadata for the Kudaf data-sharing platform.

Local installation instructions (Linux/Mac)

Make sure Python3 is installed on your computer (versions from 3.8 up to 3.11 should work fine)

$ python3 --version

Navigate to the folder chosen to contain this project

$ cd path/to/desired/folder

Create a Python virtual environment and activate it

$ python3 -m venv .venv

This created the virtualenv under the hidden folder .venv

Activate it with:

$ source .venv/bin/activate

Install Kudaf Metadata Tools and other required Python packages

$ pip install kudaflib

Kudaflib CLI operation

Navigate to the project directory and activate the virtual environment (only if not already activated):

$ source .venv/bin/activate

The kudaf-generate command should be now activated. This is the main entry point to the CLI's functionalities.

As we can see, there is one sub-command available: metadata.

We can obtain help on it as well:

$ kudaf-generate metadata --help

Generating metadata only from a YAML configuration file

$ kudaf-generate metadata --config-yaml-path /home/me/path/to/config.yaml --output-metadata-dir /home/me/path/to/metadata/folder


Developers

Download the package to your computer

Option A: Installation from repository:

Open up a Terminal window and clone the repo locally:

$ git clone https://gitlab.sikt.no/kudaf/kudaflib.git

Option B: Installation from source:

  1. Open up your browser and navigate to the project's GitLab page: https://gitlab.sikt.no/kudaf/kudaflib

  2. Once there, download a ZIP file with the source code

Download ZIP file

  1. Move the zipped file to whichever directory you want to use for this installation

  2. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory where the zipped file is

  3. Unzip the downloaded file, it will create a folder called kudaflib-main

  4. Switch to the newly created folder

$ cd path/to/kudaflib-main

Make sure Python3 is installed on your computer (versions from 3.8 up to 3.11 should work fine)

$ python3 --version

Install Poetry (Python package and dependency manager) on your computer

Full Poetry documentation can be found here: https://python-poetry.org/docs/

The official installer should work fine on the command line for Linux, macOS and Windows:

$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

If the installation was successful, configure this option:

$ poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

Mac users: Troubleshooting

In case of errors installing Poetry on your Mac, you may have to try installing it with pipx . But to install that, we need to have Homebrew installed first.

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

(Homebrew documentation: https://brew.sh/)

Once Homebrew is installed, proceed to install pipx:

$ brew install pipx

$ pipx ensurepath

Finally, install Poetry :

$ pipx install poetry

Create a Python virtual environment and activate it

$ python3 -m venv .venv

This created the virtualenv under the hidden folder .venv

Activate it with:

$ source .venv/bin/activate

Install Kudaf Datasource Tools and other required Python packages

$ poetry install
