aif-core-compliance

AIF Core (Definition 1.1) compliance validator for AIF.sql-shaped JSON.

This package validates:

• Input shape with JSON Schema (aif-sql-core-strict profile)
• Reference integrity (REF_*)
• Simple digraph constraints (NO_SELF_LOOPS, NO_DUPLICATE_EDGES)
• Upper Ontology constraints
• Forms Ontology fulfilment (strict)

Scope

• Target specification: AIF Core (Definition 1.1)
• Input format: AIF.sql-homomorphic JSON (table arrays)
• Validation mode: strict
• Entry points: library API and CLI (aif-core-compliance)

Input Format Contract

validate(doc) expects one JSON object with all of the following required top-level keys:

• nodes
• edges
• schemes
• schemeFulfillment
• descriptors
• descriptorFulfillment
• formEdges
• formEdgeTypes

Top-level additional keys are not allowed by schema.

Row Shapes

nodes[]

• nodeID: integer (>=1)
• text: string
• type: "I" | "RA" | "CA" | "PA"
• timestamp?: string

edges[]

• edgeID: integer (>=1)
• fromID: integer (>=1)
• toID: integer (>=1)
• formEdgeID: integer (>=1) | null

schemes[]

• schemeID: integer (>=1)
• name: string
• schemeTypeID: integer (>=1)

schemeFulfillment[]

• nodeID: integer (>=1)
• schemeID: integer (>=1)

descriptors[]

• descriptorID: integer (>=1)
• text: string

descriptorFulfillment[]

• nodeID: integer (>=1)
• descriptorID: integer (>=1)

formEdges[]

• formEdgeID: integer (>=1)
• schemeID: integer (>=1)
• formEdgeTypeID: integer (>=1)
• name: string
• descriptorID: integer (>=1) | null
• schemeTarget: integer (>=1) | null

formEdgeTypes[]

• formEdgeTypeID: integer (>=1)
• name: string
• direction: "IN" | "OUT"

Strict Semantics Notes

• edges.formEdgeID may be null in schema, but strict validation raises EDGE_ROLE_REQUIRED when that edge is incident to an S-node (RA/CA/PA).
• formEdges.descriptorID and formEdges.schemeTarget may be null in schema and are checked by strict fulfilment rules when present.
