Transform4: TAP Contents

[kcoyle]

This should be just the minimum for this version. It could also be skipped if we run out of time, so ideally outputs should be completed before this is done.

• valueNodeType = IRI, literal, or BNODE (case insensitive test)
• unknown value for valueNodeType test
  • report as unknown value but output value
• perhaps do not check Boolean values because we haven't yet provided a way to give alternates. Folks will know what values they used
• shape is not referenced by a valueShape test
  • report as error but output
• ??

valueNodeType as case insensitive
I have implemented this in 'dctap-python'.

valueNodeType unknown value
Will test whether the type is in the list and, if not, emit a warning. Are you saying that a bad value node type should be passed through to the output?

Boolean values
I have implemented these to accept "Y" and "N", but also some common variants one might expect, such as "y"/"n" and "True"/"False". These variants should be configurable by the user.

I'm not saying that, I'm asking it as a question. I should have made that clear. These are all possible situations that one may encounter, so we should decide and document our decisions.

As for the Boolean, I agree that they should be configurable, but as we do not yet have a model for a configuration file we should discuss what values we want to accept as default.

I hope others will weigh in.

But it's a good question. One general approach would be to let everything pass through with a warning that says "by the way, we don't recognize this". Another, opposite-extreme, approach would be to delete everything that is not recognized so that users will see the gaps more clearly.

My gut feeling is that warning but passing through is the way to go.

+1 to that
