pymivot's Introduction

mivot-validator

Python package for validating VOTables annotated with MIVOT

The validation process is 2 steps;

  • VOTable validation (against 1.3)
  • MIVOT validation

Both must succeed for the file to be considered as valid

The validator can process either individual files or directory contents (no recursivity)

Installation

The validator is distributed as a Python package. It won't be published in the PIP repo while MIVOT is not a standard.

BossMacBookPro$ pip3 install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ivoa/mivot-validator.git#egg=mivot-validator2

Usage

Let's play with the unit-test sample

BossMacBookPro$ ls mivot-validator2/tests/data/
test_instance_ko_1.xml	test_instance_ok_1.xml
cd mivot-validator2/
pytest tests

Commands

Validate an annotated VOTable

 mivot-votable-validate  <VOTable path>

Validate an XML file containing just a MAPPING block

 mivot-mapping-validate  <XML path>

Examples taken out the unit test suite

Check the VOTable tagged as valid

Advanced Features

Model Hierarchy Checking

This tool checks that mapped classes match the model they refer to. It requires as input an annotated VOTable. This VOTable is parsed with a model viewer issuing a model view on the first data row. Each instance of that view is compared with the VODML class definition. This beta feature works with PhotDM, Meas, Coords and a MANGO draft. Any other model, but ivoa which is skipped, make the process failing.

mivot-instance-validate <VOTABLE path>

The validation process follows these steps

  • INPUT: a VOTable annotated with the supported models.
    • The annotation must have at least one valid TEMPLATES
    • The current implementation works only with VOTables having one table.
  • Build a model view of the first data row (mivot-validator/mivot_validator/instance_checking/xml_interpreter/model_viewer.py).
  • All top level INSTANCEs of that model view will be checked one by one.
  • The XML blocks corresponding to these instances are extracted as etree objects
  • Get the dmtype on the instance to validate
  • build an XML snippets for that class from the VODML file (mivot-validator/mivot_validator/instance_checking/snippet_builder.py)
  • These snippets are stored in mivot-validator/mivot_validator/instance_checking/tmp_snippets (*)
  • The validator checks any component of the mapped instance against the snippet.
    • if the component is an ATTRIBUTE, both dmtypes and roles are checked
    • if the component is a COLLECTION, dmrole as well as items dmtypes are checked
    • if the component is a REFERENCE, dmrole is checked
    • if the component is an INSTANCE, both dmtypes and roles are checked and the validation loop is run on its components

The validator only checks the model elements that are mapped. It does not care about missing attributes or any other missing class components. MIVOT does not have requirements on the model elements that must be mapped.

(*) It is to be noted that those snippets can be used to build annotations. If you feed the validator with an empty INSTANCE with the searched dmtype:

<INSTANCE dmtype="model:MyFavouriteType"\>

you get an XML snippet named model.MyFavouriteType.xml that can be copied and tuned into your VOTable

Types and Roles Checking (obsoleted)

The validator has a new end point that can check that all dmtype and dmrole referenced in the mapping block are known by mapped models. It does not care of the class structures This checking only works with the Meas/Coord/ivoa models, other models are ignored.
