Schema Commands#

The following commands may be used when working with:

  • Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS), plus its extensions and profiles

  • Open Contracting for Infrastructure Data Standard (OC4IDS)

  • Beneficial Ownership Data Standard (BODS)

  • Social Investment Data Lab Specification (SEDL)

Optional arguments for all commands (if relevant) are:

--encoding ENCODING

the file encoding

--ascii

print escape sequences instead of UTF-8 characters

--pretty

pretty print output

mapping-sheet#

Generates a spreadsheet with all field paths in a JSON Schema.

Required arguments:

  • file the schema file

Optional arguments:

--order-by COLUMN

sort the spreadsheet’s rows by this column

--infer-required

infer whether fields are required (use with OCDS schema)

--extension

patch the release schema with this extension

--extension-field

add an “extension” column for the name of the extension in which each field was defined

--language

the language to use for the name of the extension

--codelist

add a “codelist” column

--no-deprecated

don’t include deprecated fields

--no-replace-refs

don’t replace schema with $ref properties with the referenced schema

The --extension option must be declared after the file argument. The --extension option accepts multiple values, which can be extension metadata URLs, base URLs and/or download URLs. For example:

ocdskit mapping-sheet release-schema.json --extension \
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_coveredBy_extension/master/extension.json \
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_options_extension/master/ \
   https://github.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_techniques_extension/archive/master.zip \
   > mapping-sheet.csv

The --extension-field option can be used with or without the --extension option.

  • If the --extension option is set, then the --extension-field option may be set to any value. In all cases, the result is a mapping sheet with an “extension” column, containing the name of the extension in which each field was defined.

  • If the --extension option is not set, then the --extension-field option must be set to the property in the JSON schema containing the name of the extension in which each field was defined. If there is no such property, then the result is a mapping sheet with no values in its “extension” column.

For a description of the columns of the spreadsheet, see the Mapping Sheet module.

For the Python API, see ocdskit.mapping_sheet.mapping_sheet().

Note

An error is raised if the --order-by column doesn’t exist.

schema-report#

Reports details of a JSON Schema (open and closed codelists, definitions that can use a common $ref in the versioned release schema).

Optional arguments:

--no-codelists

skip reporting open and closed codelists

--no-definitions

skip reporting definitions that can use a common $ref in the versioned release schema

--min-occurrences

report definitions that occur at least this many times (default 5)

cat path/to/release-schema.json | ocdskit schema-report

schema-strict#

Adds “minItems” and “uniqueItems” if an array, “minProperties” if an object and “minLength” if a string and “enum”, “format” and “pattern” are not set.

Optional arguments:

--no-unique-items

don’t add “uniqueItems” properties to array fields

--check

check the file for missing properties without modifying the file

ocdskit schema-strict path/to/release-schema.json

set-closed-codelist-enums#

Sets the enum in a JSON Schema to match the codes in the CSV files of closed codelists.
