| Guidelines |
| The CSV on the Web W3C recommendations specify, how to describe CSV files published on the Web using JSON-LD descriptors containing important metadata, such as column names, data types and more.
The goal of this thesis is to implement a validator of CSV files based on the CSV on the Web W3C recommendations [1][2]. Although there already are some implementations [3][6], they are insufficiently maintained and hard to use. The student will: - Get familiar with CSV on the Web [1][2][3] and JSON-LD [5] - Study current implementations [3][4][6] - Design the validator architecture, so that it is easily extensible with additional validation rules - Implement the validator as a Java library, including a reasonable subset of validation rules, ideally a complete set according to the CSVW validation report. - Implement a command line and a web service runner - Represent the validation results in RDF and CSV - Evaluate the implemented validator on a given set of tests [4] against other implementations |
