nfdi4cat/voc4cat-tool: v1.0.0rc2

Voc4cat-tool is a Python package and command-line tool for creating and maintaining SKOS-vocabularies with Excel and GitHub.

The voc4cat tool can be run locally but is also well suited for integration in CI-pipelines. It is for example used to maintain the SKOS vocabulary for catalysis voc4cat on GitHub.

Its main features include:

• Conversion between SKOS/turtle representation and Excel/xlsx. The conversion is supported in both directions.
• Checking of vocabularies. This includes formal validation with SHACL-profiles but also additional checks useful for vocabulary maintenance.
• Vocabulary metadata management via configuration files
• ID range allocation for contributors for opaque URIs
• Transforming of vocabularies between different RDF representations.
• HTML documentation generation for publishing the vocabulary for example on GitHub pages.
