Contents

tap2shacl includes several modules that deal with reading and processing the application profile:

• APClasses Provides python data classes for metadata application profiles, with methods to populate them.
• TAP2AP uses dctap-python to read a DC TAP (Dublin Core Tabular Application Profile), and some other config files, and converts it to a python application profile (APClasses).
• AP2SHACL exports the python application profile as SHACL.

Dependencies

Requires dctap 0.4.5(alpha) (github repo) which in turn introduces dependencies, notably ruamel.yaml 0.17.10.

Other dependencies are either from the python standard library (e.g. dataclasses, urllib, csv) or mature external packages (e.g. rdflib).
