RE: Diff'ing RDF files

Hi Florian,

I think most of the documentation is in GitHub, either in https://github.com/edmcouncil/rdf-toolkit, or https://github.com/edmcouncil/ontology-publisher, or in https://github.com/edmcouncil/onto-viewer. There is an older conference paper about it, attached, but it's incomplete and we've updated some of the components since then. 

We've also added many more "hygiene tests", which are implemented on a per project basis. For FIBO, for example, the set of tests (mainly SPARQL queries) are available at https://github.com/edmcouncil/fibo/tree/master/etc/testing/hygiene_parameterized. For IDMP-O (Identification of Medicinal Products Ontology), the tests are available at https://github.com/edmcouncil/idmp/tree/master/etc/testing/hygiene_parameterized. A number of them overlap, but the sets are not identical either due to project requirements or because we haven't completed migration from one project to the other, but are working on that for some upcoming extensions to both projects. Yet another set of tests is available for the IOF (Industrial Ontologies Foundry), at https://github.com/iofoundry/ontology/tree/master/etc/testing/hygiene_parameterized, which has additional requirements related to annotations that we don't use for FIBO or IDMP-O, so those tests are unique to that project.

I hope that's what you were looking for.

Best regards,

Elisa

Hi Elisa,

Thanks for this pointer, that could be really relevant for us (and probably others, too). Looking at the end result of it here https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/ it's really quite an interesting system.

Is there a document explaining how all the EDMCouncil tools are stitched together to achieve this?

Best regards,
Florian
