linkml-map 0.5.0

a framework for specifying and executing mappings between data models

linkml-map

LinkML Map is a framework for specifying and executing declarative mappings between data models. At its core is the TransformationSpecification — a YAML-based language for describing how to map one data model to another, independent of serialization format or execution engine.

Features:

• YAML-based lightweight transformation syntax
• Python library for executing mappings on data files
• Tabular data support (TSV/CSV) with streaming for large datasets
• Experimental SQL compilation backend (DuckDB) for set-based transforms
• Derivation of target (implicit) schemas, allowing easy customization of data models (profiling)
• Simple YAML dictionaries for simple mappings
• Automatic unit conversion
• Use of subset of Python to specify complex mappings
• Visualizations of mappings
• Mappings are reversible (provided all expressions used are reversible)
• Multiple output formats (YAML, JSON, JSONL, TSV, CSV)

Status:

The transformation data model is not yet fully stable, and may be subject to change. Not all parts of the model are implemented in the reference Python framework.
