# Main Schema RDF Generation - COMPLETE ✅ **Date**: 2025-11-24 **Session**: Schema Slot Definition Fixes + RDF Generation **Result**: **SUCCESS** - Main schema now generates complete RDF in 8 formats --- ## Problem Summary The main LinkML schema (`01_custodian_name_modular.yaml`) was failing RDF generation with multiple "No such slot" errors due to missing top-level slot definitions in class modules. **Root Cause**: Class modules listed slots in `slots:` array but didn't define them at the module's top level. The `slot_usage:` section provided customization but LinkML requires base definitions first. --- ## Files Fixed (4 Class Modules) ### 1. **CustodianCollection.yaml** ✅ - **Added slots**: `access_rights`, `digital_surrogates`, `custody_history` - **Fixed**: Moved `slot_uri` declarations into `slots:` wrapper **Before**: ```yaml classes: CustodianCollection: slots: - access_rights # ❌ Not defined! ``` **After**: ```yaml slots: access_rights: range: string digital_surrogates: range: DigitalObject custody_history: range: CustodyHistoryEntry classes: CustodianCollection: slots: - access_rights # ✅ Defined! ``` --- ### 2. **CustodianType.yaml** ✅ - **Added 11 slots**: - `type_id` (uriorcurie) - `primary_type` (string) - `wikidata_entity` (string) - `type_label` (string) - `type_description` (string) - `broader_type` (CustodianType) - `narrower_types` (CustodianType) - `related_types` (CustodianType) - `applicable_countries` (string) - `created` (datetime) - `modified` (datetime) **Error Fixed**: ``` ValueError: No such slot type_id as an attribute of CustodianType ``` --- ### 3. **FeaturePlace.yaml** ✅ - **Added 11 slots**: - `feature_type` (FeatureTypeEnum) - `feature_name` (string) - `feature_language` (string) - `feature_description` (string) - `feature_note` (string) - `classifies_place` (uriorcurie) - `was_derived_from` (CustodianObservation) - `was_generated_by` (ReconstructionActivity) - `valid_from` (datetime) - `valid_to` (datetime) **Error Fixed**: ``` ValueError: No such slot feature_type as an attribute of FeaturePlace ``` --- ### 4. **CustodianPlace.yaml** ✅ - **Added 14 slots**: - `place_name` (string) - `place_language` (string) - `place_specificity` (PlaceSpecificityEnum) - `place_note` (string) - `country` (Country) - `subregion` (Subregion) - `settlement` (Settlement) - `has_feature_type` (FeaturePlace) - `was_derived_from` (CustodianObservation) - `was_generated_by` (ReconstructionActivity) - `refers_to_custodian` (Custodian) - `valid_from` (datetime) - `valid_to` (datetime) **Error Fixed**: ``` ValueError: No such slot has_feature_type as an attribute of CustodianPlace ``` --- ## Previous Session Fixes (Already Complete) ### 5. **subregion.yaml** ✅ - Moved `slot_uri: locn:adminUnitL1` into `slots:` wrapper ### 6. **settlement.yaml** ✅ - Moved `slot_uri: schema:City` into `slots:` wrapper --- ## RDF Generation Results **Timestamp**: `20251124_002122` **Location**: `schemas/20251121/rdf/` ### Generated Files (8 Formats) | Format | File | Lines | Size | |--------|------|-------|------| | **OWL/Turtle** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.owl.ttl` | 13,747 | 837 KB | | **N-Triples** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.nt` | 13,416 | 2.0 MB | | **JSON-LD** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.jsonld` | 61,615 | 1.7 MB | | **RDF/XML** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.rdf` | 20,252 | 1.4 MB | | **N3** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.n3` | 13,746 | 837 KB | | **TriG** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.trig` | 17,771 | 1.0 MB | | **TriX** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.trix` | 68,962 | 3.0 MB | | **N-Quads** | `01_custodian_name_modular_20251124_002122.nquads` | 13,415 | 2.5 MB | **Total Size**: **14 MB** --- ## Verification: EncompassingBody Integration ✅ **Confirmed**: All 3 EncompassingBody subtypes are present in generated RDF: ```turtle a owl:Class ; rdfs:label "UmbrellaOrganisation" ; skos:inScheme ; a owl:Class ; rdfs:label "NetworkOrganisation" ; skos:inScheme ; a owl:Class ; rdfs:label "Consortium" ; skos:inScheme ; skos:exactMatch ; ``` --- ## Key Technical Insights ### Pattern: Slot Definition Before Usage LinkML requires this structure in class modules: ```yaml # 1. Top-level slot definitions (REQUIRED) slots: slot_name: range: string # Basic definition # 2. Class definitions (reference slots) classes: ClassName: slots: - slot_name # Must be defined above # 3. Slot customization (OPTIONAL) slot_usage: slot_name: slot_uri: ontology:Property description: "Detailed description" required: true ``` **Why?** - LinkML validates that all referenced slots exist - `slot_usage` **refines** slots, it doesn't create them - Modular schemas require base definitions in each module --- ## Warnings (Non-Critical) During generation, LinkML emitted warnings but still produced valid RDF: 1. **Namespace conflicts**: `schema` mapped to both `http://` and `https://` variants 2. **Multiple OWL types**: Some slots have both `rdfs:Literal` and `owl:Thing` types 3. **Ambiguous types**: Some slots couldn't determine literal vs. reference (e.g., `language`, `legal_form`) 4. **Enum equals_string**: Couldn't serialize enum values in OWL constraints **Status**: These warnings don't affect RDF validity. They indicate LinkML's OWL generator is conservative when mapping LinkML constructs to OWL. --- ## Command Reference ### Generate OWL/Turtle ```bash TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) gen-owl -f ttl schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml 2>/dev/null \ > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl ``` ### Convert to Other RDF Formats ```bash TIMESTAMP=20251124_002122 # JSON-LD rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o json-ld > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.jsonld # RDF/XML rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o xml > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.rdf # N-Triples rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o nt > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.nt # N3 rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o n3 > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.n3 # TriG rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o trig > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.trig # TriX rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o trix > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.trix # N-Quads rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.owl.ttl \ -o nquads > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name_modular_${TIMESTAMP}.nquads ``` --- ## Testing Strategy ### 1.
