  • Split ARCExpect into
    • ARCExpect (functionality to create validation cases) &
    • ARCExpect.Core (Core functionality to create ARC validation package scripts)

6.0.0 - (Released 2025-12-04)

  • Support multiple programming languages
  • Remove preview package APIs

5.0.1 - (Released 2025-09-26)

  • Fix error with specification failing for multiple workflow files per workflow
  • Update ORCID pattern and check functions

5.0.0 - (Released 2025-06-06)

  • Add functionality to add arbitrary JSON payload to the resulting validation_summary.json file.

4.0.1 - (Released 2024-08-07)

  • Add ContainsNonKeyParamWithTerm validation function

4.0.0 - (Released 2024-06-21)

  • Support full semantic versions for ValidationPackageMetadata in the ARCExpect API.

  • Use SemVer prerelease suffix for arc_specification @2.0.0-draft_

3.0.1 - (Released 2024-04-30)

Update pinned dependencies

3.0.0 - (Released 2024-04-30)

Remove separate CQCHookEndpoint because it is now directly contained in package metadata.

2.0.0 - (Released 2024-04-30)

Major rework and improvements of the ARCExpect API. The main changes are:

  • Built-in mechanisms for validating ARCs against the ARC specification

  • Built-in validation package to validate against ARC spec v2.0.0-draft

  • New Validate functions:

    • SatisfiesPredicate for Param and ParamCollection

  • New Setup and Execute functions:

    • Setup can be used in validation package code to aggregate package metadata, even from frontmatter yaml.
    • Execute now creates a spec v2 compliant output folder with the junit report, badge, and a new json report.

  • Addition of Validation Summary output:

    • In addition to JUnit report and badge creation, a json file combining the test results and validation package metadata is created by Execute.* functions.
    • This file is intended to be used for further processing of the validation results, e.g. in a CQC pipeline.

1.0.1 - (Released 2024-02-27)

Add Pipeline execution function that generates ARC-spec v2 draft compliant output folder.

1.0.0 - (Released 2024-01-12)

First release of ARCExpect API as a package. Initially, it was only used in the arc-validate CLI tool.

ARCExpect offers easy to use and understand APIs to create and execute validation cases. The main intention of this library is offering a framework for validation of ControlledVocabulary tokens in Research Data management (RDM) based on testing principles from the world of software development:

  • a validation case is the equivalent of a unit test
  • Validate.* functions are the equivalent of Assert.*, Expect.*, or equivalent functions
  • A BadgeCreation API based on AnyBadge.NET enables creation of badges that visualize the validation results.
  • export of the validation results as a junit xml file enables further integration into e.g. CI/CD pipelines

User-facing APIs:

  • Validate :
    • validate ControlledVocabulary tokens, e.g. for their compliance with a reference ontology or for the type and shape of annotated value
  • BadgeCreation:
    • Create and style small .svg images that visualize the validation results of a validation suite

Additional APIs:

  • OBOGraph
    • Create, complete, and query the graph representation of an ontology
  • ARCGraph
    • Create, complete, and query a graph of ControlledVocabulary tokens based on the relations in a reference ontology
