Transcript of Registry Technical Training

  • Registry Environment registry service Technical training
  • Registry Course scope Enable participants to: prepare a code list for registration register a code list manage a registered list access a code list Out of scope delegation and proxy support detailed update API general data modelling system deployment and management Preamble
  • Registry Prerequisites Required: familiar with material from introductory webinar notion and purpose of registry high level information model Preferable: some familiarity with JSON syntax Helpful but not necessary: some knowledge of RDF and Turtle syntax Preamble
  • Registry Course structure 1. Preamble 2. End to end example 3. Design and data preparation 4. Publication 5. Managing entries 6. Accessing content 7. Advanced cases (some optional) 8. Wrap up discussion Design Data preparation Publish Manage Access Preamble
  • Registry End to end example Demonstration csv code list - rbd.csv convert upload set status view download Demo
  • Registry Design and data preparation Case: local code list to be published openly no existing URIs (see advanced section for external entity case) Topics to cover: URI structure standard code list cases data conversion utility simple code list hierarchical code list organizations representation and vocabularies custom code lists small extensions direct formatting see advanced topics later
  • Registry URI structure Why? URIs are opaque so technically doesnt matter but predictable patterns help data users URI structure ties to administration structure Formal guidance: http://tinyurl.com/UKGovLD-revisedUriPatterns http://{domain}{/collection*} [/id][/{concept}/{key}]*[/{concept}][#id] - uri sets [/def]{/vocabulary*}[/{term}][#{term}] - vocabs Design and data preparation
  • Registry URI structure Registry convention treat as vocabularies (concepts) use top level sub-collections to ease management http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry /def/{collection}/{code-list} http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry /def/{collection}/{code-list}/{code} Design and data preparation
  • Registry URI structure {collection} choose a name to reflect the nature of the lists that can be kept stable that is legal in a URI segment registry admin/organization SRO creates, delegate to publisher example: catchment-planning {code-list} chose stable, legal, name reflecting nature of the list often noun reflecting type of the entity in the list example: RiverBasinDistrict {code} unique identifier for the entry in the list typically available as an id or notation, otherwise mangle label Design and data preparation
  • Registry URI structure Registry upload allows relative URIs create list using {code-list}/{code} then upload to: http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry /def/{collection} Design and data preparation
  • Registry SPARQL Standard cases ETL JSON Code list server proxy requests Registry service Existing local code lists registry-util converter [CSV] RDF Design and data preparation
  • Registry Standard cases Supported by data conversion tool http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry-util/ predefined templates for some common formats more templates can be added form for metadata preview raw converted data generates (RDF) file ready for publication Design and data preparation
  • Registry Standard cases Simple, flat code list simple-skos labelled-skos (if no notation column) CSV structure: label description notation note definition label used for presentation and UIs explanation of code (text) notation used in data supplementary note (text) formal definition (text) Required Optional Optional (can use label) Optional Optional Design and data preparation
  • Registry Standard cases Hierarchical code list hierarchical-skos CSV structure: label1 label2 label3 description notation note definition label (top level code) explanation of code (optional) notation used in data (optional) (optional) label (second level code) explanation of code (optional) notation used in data (optional) (optional) label (third level code) explanation of code (optional) notation used in data (optional) (optional) Design and data preparation
  • Registry Standard cases Simple organization two-level-organization CSV structure:org suborg description label of a parent organization description of the organization label of sub-organization description of the sub- organization label of sub-organization description of the sub- organization Design and data preparation
  • Registry Standard cases Will demonstrate shortly ... But first look at the representation details helpful background understand conversion previews only strictly necessary if developing custom lists Design and data preparation
  • Registry Representation and vocabularies What do you want to say about a code? How should it be represented in the data? Recall information model: each registered item is identified by a URI described by a set of property values each property is itself identified by a URI standard vocabularies of useful properties open, can freely add properties mandatory minimum is a type and label Design and data preparation
  • Registry Aside on notation Prefix notation avoid writing long URIs for types and properties prefix:local for example: rdfs:label skos:Concept prefix maps to a namespace URI related to qnames in XML but just concatenation skos:Concept = http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#Concept Design and data preparation
  • Registry Common prefixes Registry preloaded with common prefixes [Just another register, so can extend] Prefix Vocabulary Examples rdf RDF core rdf:type rdfs RDF schema rdfs:label, rdfs:comment skos Simple Knowledge Organization Scheme skos:Concept, skos:prefLabel, skos:broader dct Dublin core terms dct:description, dct:publisher org Organization ontology org:Organization reg Registry vocabulary reg:Register ldp Linked data platform ldp:Collection ldp:membershipPredicate xsd Xml Schema Datatypes xsd:string Design and data preparation
  • Registry Representation and vocabularies Standard templates SKOS examples a single code row is given the properties: Property value rdf:type skos:Concept skos:prefLabel label rdfs:label label skos:notation notation or clean(label) dct:description description skos:note note skos:definition definition skos:inScheme skos:topConceptOf if top level skos:narrower Design and data preparation
  • Registry Example Hierarchical code list look at vehicles.csv create project and upload select template fill in metadata convert browse Design and data preparation Demo
  • Registry Custom code lists Sometimes want a richer representation custom types for entries additional properties correspondence mappings whole different representation Various options to achieve this: request additional templates for the registry-util generic property columns custom data generation (see later) Design and data preparation
  • Registry Generic property columns Situation standard SKOS template is mostly fine but want to get entries additional types or additional properties Solution add column in sheet for additional property column name give URI for property in if column value is in then its treated as a URI else its a literal (string, number, date) Design and data preparation
  • Registry Generic property columns - example River Basin Districts would like to also type each entry to match WFD vocabulary Design and data preparation
  • Registry Publication Security model Upload forms
  • Registry Security model Authentication not needed to read and browse username/password or OpenID (e.g. Yahoo) can set password for OpenID as a backup register using OpenID provider or email/password up to administrator to grant you permissions Authorization rights granted to Register or Item rights on Register inherit to sub-registers/items manager role register, update, status-update, grant maintainer role update, grant can set a Register fully open - any registered user can update Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Login Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Login Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Navigate to location then Admin > Add registration Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Upload prepared file Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Upload prepared file Publication
  • Registry Publish a prepared registration Other registration actions upload an individual entry upload a register with its initial contents upload a register of external items create a register forward the URL (advanced usage only) manually create an entry (not recommended) Publication
  • Registry Managing entries Setting status Manual corrections Uploading corrections API access, not covered here future support for correcting by CSV round trip
  • Registry Setting status Registry follows generalized ISO19135 status model Managing entries
  • Registry Setting status Visibility only the accepted codes/registers are visible to users administrators see all status entries our current upload is submitted and so not visible might be some formal review process before it gets promoted To set status navigate into new register Admin > Set status Admin > Set content status only offers legal state transitions Managing entries
  • Registry Manual update Select item or register Admin > Edit Managing entries
  • Registry Accessing data Viewing item or register in browser Fetch register or item in machine readable form RDF (Turtle, RDF/XML) JSON (JSON-LD) Fetching metadata Versioning and history
  • Registry Real registry information model Simplified registry information model register is a list of entries which we've called items easy for consumers to work with can publish data using standard templates without having go beyond this model Real information model separate metadata about the entry from the entry itself the RegisterItem has all the metadata this in turn points to some Entity which may be external to the registry Accessing data
  • Registry Register RegisterItem label description status submitter item class date submitted etc ... register register entitydefinition EntityReference entitydefinition EntityReference RegisterItem label description status submitter item class date submitted etc Real registry information model Accessing data
  • Registry Registry information model Every RegisterItem has a notation URI for the RegisterItem is: http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/ /def/{collection}/{code-list}/_{item} So for registers which list external resources the RegsterItem URI is in the registry namespace the entry itself can be in another namespace Accessing data
  • Registry Registry information model Actually more complex due to versioning each RegisterItem can have a history of changes can retrieve specific earlier version using http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/ /def/{collection}/{code-list}/_{item}:version Accessing data
  • Registry Registry information model Hide the complexity versioning and metadata are necessary features but for common uses just want to see the list of current entries in their current state so the default view (via browser, or simple GET) constructs simplified view Accessing data
  • Registry Registry information model Real structure Accessing data reg:Register entity reg:register reg:definition reg:entity reg:RegisterItem reg:EntityReferencereg:RegisterItem reg:EntityReference
  • Registry Registry information model Simplified container view property which links register to entity can be configured, can point either way Accessing data reg:Register entity reg:register reg:definition reg:entity reg:RegisterItem reg:EntityReferencereg:RegisterItem reg:EntityReference induced membership relation default is rdfs:member container view full view
  • Registry Registry information model Hide the complexity versioning and metadata are necessary features but for common uses just want to see the list of current entries in their current state so the default view (via browser, or simple GET) constructs simplified view but if ask for with_metadata see the raw structure Accessing data
  • Registry Accessing data Accessing individual entries just the entry URI= http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/def/catchment- planning/RiverBasinDistrict curl -i H "Accept: application/ld+json" "$URI/UK01" curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/UK01" entry plus metadata curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/UK01?_view=with_metadata" the RegisterItem (metadata) - useful for external entries curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/_UK01" Accessing data
  • Registry Accessing data Fetch register or item in machine readable form register plus all content curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" $URI just register curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI?non-member-properties" register plus all entries with status submitted curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI?status=submitted" register, entries and all metadata curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI?_view=with_metadata" page through long list of entries curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI?first-page" curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI?_page=2" Accessing data
  • Registry Versioning History and versioning each thing in the registry is versioned entity (code) item (metadata) registers version management is done behind the scenes normal requests show the current version the URI for the current version does not change if the code changes meaning - create a new code Accessing data
  • Registry Versioning Accessing data //registry/reg/_foo RegisterItem VersionedThing //registry/reg/foo (entity) rdfs:label fixed //registry/reg/_foo:1 RegisterItem Version dct:versionOf reg:definition //registry/reg/_foo:2 RegisterItem Version version:currentVersion dct:replaces/dct:replacedBy //registry/reg/foo (entity) rdfs:label wrong reg:definition hasBeginning: 5 Mar 2014 17:24:25.362 hasEnd: 25 Jun 2014 14:14:59.080 hasBeginning: 25 Jun 2014 14:14:59.080 version:interval
  • Registry Versioning Accessing data
  • Registry Accessing data versions Accessing individual entries current version URI= http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/def/ea- organization/ea_areas curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/_1-1" specific version curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/_1-1:2 list versions curl -i -H "Accept: text/turtle" "$URI/_1-1:3?_view=version_list Accessing data

  • Registry Advanced Collections of external URIS Custom codes lists in JSON - optional single entry whole register batch update Not covered: patching forwarding and delegation restriction of register content types
  • Registry Collection of external entities Use case create a register whose entries are references to external codes or entities that already have URIs Why endorse or qualify uses of the codes for your purpose select a subset of some larger code list How create a collection whose entries are external URIs and use Upload ref-batch create and register entries with explicit RegisterItem metadata External entities
  • Registry Worked example INSPIRE spatial data themes http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/inspire_themes?langco de=en Process locate machine processable descriptions of the themes http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/ http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/theme.en.json transform into a suitable format pick out the subset to register register it External entities
  • Registry Transform data to suitable format Two options via csv flatten json to pick out information we want convert flat json to csv [edit csv] convert csv to RDF using data converter tool via jsonld convert json to jsonld [edit jsonld] External entities
  • Registry Transform data to suitable format Convert to CSV flatten json e.g. use jq [ .register.containeditems[].theme | { description: .description.text, definition: .definition.text, label: .label.text, id: .id, notation: .id|ltrimstr( "http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/") } ] convert flat CSV to json various online tools prepare for registration using dcutil External entities
  • Registry Example INPSIRE themes example browse to json use jq to pick out sections flatten jq look at csv create dcutil project select external-skos template convert browse External entities Demo
  • Registry Direct to json (see later) # jq script to convert themes.json to jsonld for registration { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json-context", "@id" : "themes", "@type" : "skos:Collection" , "dct:description" : "INSPIRE spatial themes", "rdfs:label" : "INSPIRE themes", "skos:member" : [ .register.containeditems[].theme | { "@id" : .id, "@type" : "skos:Concept", "skos:label" : .label.text, "rdfs:label" : .label.text, "dct:description" : .description.text, "skos:definition" : .definition.text, "skos:notation": .id|ltrimstr("http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/") } ] } External entities
  • Registry Advanced Collections of external URIS Custom codes lists in JSON - optional single entry whole register batch update
  • Registry Custom code lists in JSON Custom code lists Why need representation not covered by dcutil templates more complex data than SKOS custom annotation and types How general property columns (see earlier) prepare data using RDF tool chains (not covered) prepare data as JSON compliant with JSON-LD Custom JSON
  • Registry JSON-LD format W3C specification supports mapping of JSON data to RDF Supported by the registry provides JSON-LD @context defining prefixes can directly import or export in JSON-LD Custom JSON
  • Registry Custom code list cases single entry whole register batch update Custom JSON
  • Registry Formatting a single entry The entry should be a json object { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json-context", "@id" : "entry", ... } Custom JSON Single entry imports all registry prefixes gives a URI for the entry, typically relative URI which will be relative to the register in which we place the entry
  • Registry Formatting a single entry Now add some descriptive properties { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json-context", "@id" : "entry", "@type" : "skos:Concept", "rdfs:label" : "Entry", "dct:description" : "I am an entry but described using JSON-LD" } Custom JSON Single entry the type of the entry (translates to rdf:type)
  • Registry Formatting a single entry Demonstration register this as an entry in an existing register entry.jsonld note suffix matters Custom JSON Single entry Demo
  • Registry Formatting a whole register Bulk registration options create register plus contents in one go only legal for known types bulkCollections Concept Scheme, Collection, Register need some property to register to/from members Custom JSON Whole register Type Membership property skos:ConceptScheme ^ skos:inScheme skos:Collection skos:member reg:Register rdfs:member
  • Registry Formatting a whole register Raw register start with json object for the Register resource { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json-context", "@id" : "register", "@type" : [ "reg:Register" ], "dct:description" : "A demonstration register", "rdfs:label" : "Register ... } we will want more metadata, see later Custom JSON Whole register
  • Registry Formatting a whole register Raw register declare members as further objects { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json- context", "@id" : "register", "@type" : [ "reg:Register" ], "dct:description" : "A demonstration register", "rdfs:label" : "Register "rdfs:member" : [ { "@id" : "register/member1", "@type" : "skos:Concept", "dct:description" : "I am the first member", "rdfs:label" : "Member 1" }, { ... } ] } Custom JSON Whole register declare members inline in an array (other options) member URIs have to be children of the root URI
  • Registry Formatting a single entry Demonstration register this whole register register.jsonld Custom JSON Whole register Demo
  • Registry Formatting a whole register skos:Collection case { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json- context", "@id" : "collection", "@type" : [ "skos:Collection" ], "dct:description" : "A demonstration collection of concepts", "rdfs:label" : "Collection", "skos:member" : [ { "@id" : "collection/member1", "@type" : "skos:Concept", "dct:description" : "I am the first member", "rdfs:label" : "Member 1" }, { ... } ] } Custom JSON Whole register Registry knows that skos:Collections use a different membership property
  • Registry Formatting a whole register skos:ConceptScheme case complicated because entries point to the container instead of the other way round Custom JSON Whole register collection skos:Collection skos:ConceptSchme collection/member1 collection/member2 skos:member scheme scheme/member1 scheme/member2 skos:inScheme
  • Registry Formatting a whole register skos:ConceptScheme case complicated because entries point to the container so we cant nest the json as a tree have to provide a set of resources, with links between them use @graph to given an array of objects to link from one resource to another use @id Custom JSON Whole register
  • Registry Formatting a whole register skos:ConceptScheme case { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json- context", "@graph" : [ { "@id" : "scheme", "@type" : [ "skos:ConceptScheme" ], "dct:description" : "A demonstration concept scheme", "rdfs:label" : "Scheme" }, { "@id" : "scheme/member1", "@type" : "skos:Concept", "dct:description" : "I am the first member", "rdfs:label" : "Member 1", "skos:inScheme" : { "@id" : "scheme" } }, { ... } ] } Custom JSON Whole register
  • Registry Formatting a whole register Metadata every register should have metadata at least publisher license preferably rights statement classification to help navigation which properties to use? where to get the controlled (URI!) values? Custom JSON Whole register
  • Registry Metadata Custom JSON Whole register Metadata Property Source of values Publisher dct:publisher http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/org License dct:license http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government- licence/version/2/ Rights dct:rights Nested resource specifying an odrs:attributionText Classification - entity type env-ui: entityType http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/entity- type Classification - category reg: category http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/category
  • Registry Metadata Register example with metadata { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json-context", "@id" : "register2", "@type" : [ "reg:Register" ], "rdfs:label" : "Register2, "dct:description" : "A demonstration register", "dct:publisher" : {"@id" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/org/department-for- environment-food-rural-affair"}, "dct:rights" : { "odrs:attributionText" : "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v2.0." }, "dct:license" : {"@id" : "http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open- government-licence/version/2/"}, "reg:category" : {"@id" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/category/System"}, "env-ui:entityType" : {"@id" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/structure/entity-type/Abstract"}, ... } Custom JSON Whole register
  • Registry Batch update So far have seen: registering a single entry registering an entire collection with contents Final case: register a set of entries in an existing collection requires entry + item metadata allows for registration of external entries Custom JSON Batch update
  • Registry Batch update (external case) Each entry needs item plus entry itself { "@context" : "http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry/system/json- context", "@graph" : [ { "@id" : "_litre", "@type" : "reg:RegisterItem", "reg:status" : { "@id" : "reg:statusStable" }, "reg:definition" : { "reg:entity" : { "@id" : "http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#Liter" } } }, { "@id" : "http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#Liter", "@type" : "http://qudt.org/schema/qudt#VolumeUnit", "rdfs:label" : "Litre", "dct:description" : "Non-SI unit of volume equal to 1 dm^3" }, ... } Custom JSON Batch update Create an item in the register to reference the entity Link the two together The external entity, with core descriptive properties

  • Registry Federation, delegation and namespaces Case 1: External entities identifier published in different namespace want to include it in authoritative list Solution: just register as a referenced entity already seen this authoritative because its on the list can record properties of the entity, and maintain history no namespace management involved
  • Registry Referenced entities /local /id /local-authority Registry External service e.g. opencommunities.org Hosted by LA directly
  • Registry Case 2: Namespace allocation want someone else to serve part of the registry namespace might be a single item or a complete register sub tree e.g. allocating namespace in location.data.gov.uk for serving INSPIRE spatial object identifiers Solution: reg:NamespaceForward can be a redirect (30X) or proxy (200) no constraints on whether target acts like a Registry target ought to serve linked data with URIs in the right namespace, but not required Federation, delegation and namespaces
  • Registry Namespace forward /local /id /local-authority Registry External web site could be anything
  • Registry Federation, delegation and namespaces Case 3: Federated register want someone else to run part of the registry infrastructure but act like one big registry integrated search, validation etc Solution: reg:FederatedRegister can be a redirect (30X) or proxy (200) target endpoint must comply with Registry API at least for search, validation and entity lookup
  • Registry Federated register /local /id /local-authority Registry Federated registry /local-authority /id
  • Registry Federation, delegation and namespaces Case 4: Delegating a register some one else to serve the list of contents of the register but they only have triple store, not full registry implementation Solution: solution eg:DelegatedRegister specify SPARQL endpoint and triple pattern to enumerate members reg:DelegatedRegister reg:delegationTarget [1] reg:enumerationSubject [0..1] reg:enumerationPredicate [0..1] reg:enumerationObject [0..1]
  • Registry Delegated register /local /id /local-authority Registry External SPARQL service
  • Registry Security model authentication OpenID (e.g. Google, Google profile) authorization permissions Register, Update, StatusUpdate, Force, Grant, GrantAdmin inherit down the tree e.g.: Register,Update:/example/local can grant to known user or anyone authenticated bundled into roles Maintainer Update, Grant Manager Register, StatusUpdate, Update, Grant Authorized Register, Update, StatusUpdate - for experimental areas Administrator - anything
  • Registry Practical session End to end example using vehicles.csv data conversion register with http://environment.data.gov.uk/registry-util/ create project use shortname based on your inials upload vehicles.csv choose template fill in metadata form run conversion and browse results data publication register with TDB test registry yes, these are separate accounts browse to def/webinar2 register results of data conversion set status Practical your turn
