Contents

tap2shacl includes several modules that deal with reading and processing the application profile:

• APClasses Provides python data classes for metadata application profiles, with methods to populate them.
• dctap-python Reads and carries out basic validation of a DCTAP instance. (This is a frozen version of dctap-python)
• TAP2AP uses dctap-python to read a DC TAP (Dublin Core Tabular Application Profile), and some other config files, and converts it to a python application profile (APClasses).
• AP2SHACL exports the python application profile as SHACL.

Other dependencies are either from the python standard library (e.g. urllib, csv) or mature external packages (notably rdflib).
