Table of Contents
Install
git clone https://github.com/gbv/jskos-tools.git
cd jskos-tools
npm i jskos-tools
Usage
const jskos = require("jskos-tools")
See https://gbv.github.io/jskos-tools/ for full API documentation of
module jskos-tools.
Mapping Identifiers
let mapping = {
...
}
mappingContentIdentifier
mappingContentIdentifier
starts with urn:jskos:mapping:content: and takes concepts and type into consideration. It uses the mappingContent
function to get relevant properties from the mapping.
let contentIdentifier = jskos.mappingContentIdentifier(mapping)
mappingMembersIdentifier
mappingMembersIdentifier
starts with urn:jskos:mapping:members: and only takes concepts into consideration. It uses the mappingMembers
function to get relevant properties from the mapping.
let membersIdentifier = jskos.mappingMembersIdentifier(mapping)
addMappingIdentifiers
addMappingIdentifiers
creates a new mapping with property "identifiers", containing mappingContentIdentifier and mappingMembersIdentifier.
let mappingWithIdentifiers = jskos.addMappingIdentifiers(mapping)
compareMappings
compareMappings
compares two mappings based on their mappingContentIdentifier
.
if (jskos.compareMappings(mapping1, mapping2)) { ... }
Aliases: compareMappingContent
compareMappingMembers
compareMappingMembers
compares two mappings based on their mappingMembersIdentifier
.
if (jskos.compareMappingMembers(mapping1, mapping2)) { ... }
ConceptScheme
See class ConceptScheme.
Tools
addContext
Add @context
URI to a JSKOS object or to an array of JSKOS objects.
jskos.addContext(object)
clean
Removes properties starting with _
or containing only uppercase letters from a JSKOS object.
jskos.clean(object)
Aliases: cleanJSKOS
copyDeep
Creates a deep copy of a JSKOS object, replacing possibly circular structures with open world [null]
statements. As the second argument it is possible to add additional properties that should be replaced with open world [null]
statements. The third argument determines whether all properties starting with _
should be ignored (true
by default).
jskos.copyDeep(object)
jskos.copyDeep(object, ["someCircularProperty"])
jskos.copyDeep(object, null, false)
Aliases: deepCopy
getAllUris
Returns all possible URIs for a JSKOS object. Takes into consideration both the uri and identifier properties, as well as different variants of those identifiers. Returns an empty array if object is null
.
jskos.getAllUris(object)
compare
Compares two objects based on their URIs, using getAllUris
. Returns true
if both objects are null
.
jskos.compare(object1, object2)
Aliases: compareObjects
, compareSchemes
, compareConcepts
isConcept
Checks whether JSKOS object is a concept based on type property.
jskos.isConcept(object)
isScheme
Checks whether JSKOS object is a concept scheme based on type property.
jskos.isScheme(object)
isContainedIn
// Checks whether an object is contained in a list of objects using compare
.
jskos.isContainedIn(object, listOfObjects)
Aliases: isSchemeInList
sortConcepts
Sorts a list of concepts by their notation, then URI. Returns a copy of the list. If the second parameter is true
, it will try to sort by numerical notations.
jskos.sortConcepts(concepts)
sortSchemes
Sorts a list of schemes by their prefLabel (de or en), then notation, then URI. Returns a copy of the list.
jskos.sortSchemes(schemes)
minifyMapping
Removes unnecessary properties from mapping before export or saving. In particular, all properties except for to
, from
, toScheme
, fromScheme
, type
, creator
, contributor
, created
, modified
, note
, and identifier
on the mapping will be removed, and all properties except for uri
and notation
on concepts and schemes will be removed.
let newMapping = jskos.minifyMapping(mapping)
mappingTypes
An array of mapping types in form of objects. Objects can have the following properties:
notation
- an array of notations (in this case symbols)uri
- the URI of the mapping typeprefLabel
- a language maps of labelsbroader
- array of broader mapping types for this typerelated
- array of related mapping typesRELEVANCE
- relevance label for GND terms (low, medium, high, very high)SHORT
- a short name for the type, used for CSV import/export
The labels are taken from Wikidata (see script bin/localize-mapping-types
).
Example object:
{
"notation": ["≈"],
"uri": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#closeMatch",
"prefLabel": { "en": "close match" },
"broader": [ { "uri": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#mappingRelation" } ],
"RELEVANCE": "high",
"SHORT": "close"
}
mappingTypeByUri
Returns a mapping type object for an URI.
jskos.mappingTypeByUri("http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#closeMatch")
mappingTypeByType
Returns a mapping type for a JSKOS type property. This is usually an array where the first type is taken, but a workaround for string types is included as well.
jskos.mappingTypeByType(mapping.type)
defaultMappingType
The default mapping type (currently mapping relation
).
flattenMapping
Converts a mapping into a flat object with for serialization as CSV. Returns an object with fields fromNotation
, toNotation
, type
, and (if option language
has been provided) fromLabel
, toLabel
, and creator
.
mappingCSV
Returns an object of preconfigured conversion functions to convert mappings into CSV. Supports 1-to-1, 1-to-n, and n-to-n mappings.
const csv = jskos.mappingCSV({
delimiter: ",",
quoteChar: "\"",
lineTerminator: "\n",
type: true,
schemes: false,
labels: false,
creator: false,
language: "en",
})
csv.header(mappings)
csv.fromMapping(mapping, { fromCount: null, toCount: null })
csv.fromMappings(mappings, { header: true })
The order of the CSV fields is fromScheme, fromNotation, (fromLabel,) (fromNotation2, fromLabel2, ...) toNotation, (toLabel,) (toNotation2, toLabel2, ...) type, creator.
serializeCSV
Returns a function to serialize an array as CSV row as configured with CSV Dialect.
conceptsOfMapping
Returns an array of concepts contained in a mapping. side
can either be from
or to
. If side
is left out, concepts from both sides will be returned. null
values will be omitted.
jskos.conceptsOfMapping(mapping)
compareMappingsDeep
compareMappingsDeep
compares two mappings based on their properties. Concept sets and schemes are compared by URI.
if (jskos.compareMappingsDeep(mapping1, mapping2)) { ... }
matchObjectTypes
Compares two JSKOS objects based on their types. Returns false
only if both types could be guessed using guessObjectType
and they did not match, otherwise it will assume that the types match.
mergeUris
Merge URIs of two objects a
and b
into a
by adding/removing URIs from identifier property.
merge
Merges two JSKOS objects. See documentation for more information.
normalize
Applies recursive unicode normalization to data.
isValidUri
Checks whether a string is a valid URI.
objectTypes
An object that maps JSKOS object type names to their description.
guessObjectType
Guess the JSKOS object type of an object, URI or name and return its canonical name.
type = guessObjectType(objectOrString)
type = guessObjectType(objectOrString, true)
compareFunctions
An object containing compare functions that can be used with array.sort()
etc.
Available functions:
compareFunctions.mappingsByConcepts
- compares mappings by the notations of their first concepts
