OCFL S3 Validator

A Python OCFL Object validator for content in S3.

This validator is a simple wrapper for one small part of the Python OCFL validation utility: ocfl-py. This validator only exposes OCFL Object validation for objects that are stored in an S3 object store. The validator has been tested with: AWS, Wasabi, and IBM's S3 storage appliance, "ECS". This validator takes S3 credentials, an optional "endpoint URL" for non-AWS S3 stores, an S3 bucket name, and the S3 path to the OCFL Object root of an OCFL Object. A validation result object is returned for each OCFL Object validation request.

Usage

1. Create an ObjectValidator with:
   • S3 bucket name
   • S3 access key ID
   • S3 secret access key
   • S3 endpoint URL (optional: needed for non-AWS S3 providers)
2. Invoke 'validate()' method with:
   • S3 path to single OCFL object
3. The 'validate()' method returns a result object with:
   • object_id (str): The ID of the object.
   • ocfl_object_path (str): The path to the OCFL object.
   • validation_status (bool): The status of the validation.
   • error_message (str): The error message, if any.
   • validation_timestamp (datetime): The timestamp of the validation.
4. The result object has a JSON representation by calling: 'result.as_json()'

Example usage

• See object_validator.py 'main'

from ocfl_s3_validator import ObjectValidator

def example():
    # Define variables used below: 'bucket_name', 'access_key_id', etc

    validator = ObjectValidator(bucket_name,
        access_key_id,
        secret_access_key,
        endpoint_url)
    result = validator.validate(object_id, object_path)

    print(result.as_json())
