'Add standard service' stuck to guess-types-of-column about datasette-reconcile HOT 3 CLOSED

For information, the /-/reconcile URL returns:

{
  "versions": [
    "0.1",
    "0.2"
  ],
  "name": "PRELIB Personnes reconciliation",
  "identifierSpace": "http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/type.object.id",
  "schemaSpace": "http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/type.object.id",
  "defaultTypes": "personne",
  "view": "/prelib/prelib_personne/{{id}}"
}

however, the reconciliation Service API mentions that the defaultTypes field should contain a list of types:

A type represents a category of entities. It comprises the following fields:
id
an identifier, which is a non-empty string. This identifier must be unique among all types;
name
a human-readable name, which is a non-empty string.

In consequence, the manifest should rather be:

{
  "versions": [
    "0.1",
    "0.2"
  ],
  "name": "PRELIB Personnes reconciliation",
  "identifierSpace": "http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/type.object.id",
  "schemaSpace": "http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/type.object.id",
  "defaultTypes": [
    {
      "id": "/personne",
      "name": "personne"
    }
  ],
  "view": "/prelib/prelib_personne/{{id}}"
}

Thanks, I think you're right.

Tricky to know the best way to configure this. I think I might just check that type_default is in the correct format in the configuration, so you would need to add a list with the correct types in the config.

It's a bit confusing about what openrefine does and doesn't accept for the type value in the response too.

There is a way to validate the manifest: Using JSON Schema. The JSON Schema for reconciliation service manifests is listed in the reconciliation Service API (chapter A.1 Manifest Schema). This JSON schema could be used with an online validator as JSON Schema Validator and Generator. If you try to validate the preceding manifest, you could notice that there is also an error with the view field, which should use a url sub-field.
