ESPD validation tool based on Schematron rules

Audience

This is a technical repository and is intended to be used as a tool that has as input:

Code Lists,
ESPD Request and ESPD Response, and
UBL
Schematron rules specific to ESPD business rules

and produces the XSL files that can be used to either validate locally any ESPD Request and/or ESPD Response or as the online service on ISAITB testbed site. You can see the validation files on the associated GitHub repository.

Description

This repository is a processing tool that implements ESPD business rules in Schematron format in order to validate ESPD Request and ESPD Response files in XML format. ESPD is based on UBL with a couple of extra business rules. Thus the validation of an ESPD document is based on UBL Documents QualificationApplicationRequest for ESPD Request and QualificationApplicationResponse for ESPD Response. All ESPD-specific business rules are described in terms of Schematron rules. Those rules are processed and transformed into XSL files.

Install

Prerequisites

The espd-schematron.bat file which is used to generate the schematron and XSL validation files is a Windows Batch file, and can only be run in a Windows environment.

You need to have installed the following tools on your machine before starting to use the ESPD Validation tool:

Git client (GitBash or GitHub Desktop on Windows, native on OSX and Linux)
Java JDK v1.8 or higher, you can use OpenJDK
IDE tool of your choice (e.g. Visual Studio Code)

Getting started

Get the current repository on your local computer:

git clone https://github.com/OP-TED/espd-validation-schematron.git

This will create the folder espd-validation-schematron on your local computer. You may use your preferred IDE to edit the specific files. You need a Windows terminal, either the Windows Command Prompt, or in an IDE, to run the commands and tools.

Repository structure

The folder structure is standard and contains:

espd-schematron-gc.bat a Windows batch executable that is present in the root of the folder
ESPDRequest the folder containing the necessary input and output files for ESPD Request validation
ESPDResponse the folder containing the necessary input and output files for ESPD Response validation
common the folder containing all common artefacts, libraries, and XSD files necessary to validate and produce extra validators
gc the folder contains all Code List files
the logs folder contains the output of the execution of internal pipelines and should be checked for errors. If any errors occur during processing they are in the log files after each execution.

Documentation

This tool is provided as is and is intended to be used as an intermediary step in the entire chain of the ESPD validation process. Any contributions, suggestions and improvements are more than welcome. Please feel free to open a GitHub issue for your feedback.

Data preparation

The tool will validate:

Code Lists
ESPD Request
ESPD Response

all files are in XML format.

External data sources

Please update the files in the ESPD-EDM repository first and then proceed.

The following files should be copied from the ESPD-EDM repository

from ESPD-EDM	to espd-validation-schematron	comments
`codelists/gc`	`gc`	Update both external and technical Code Lists in ESPD-EDM and then copy the content of the folder to espd-validation-schematron
`ubl-2.4/xsdrt`	`common/xsdrt`	Update the UBL distribution file in ESPD-EDM and then copy the content of the folder to espd-validation-schematron

External Code Lists are provided by EU Vocabularies. The ESPD example files are generated from the Excel Criterion file or from the ESPD Demo site. The UBL files are directly downloaded from the UBL distribution site. Once the external files are in place we can proceed to modifying the internal files.

Internal files

Please use only relative paths inside the files so that the pipelines can be run independently on the local file location specific to the user's computer.

The following internal files must be updated after all external files have been copied:

common/cva/01-ESPD-codelist-values.cva contains the updated list with all codelist files, see gc folder for a complete list of codelist files, and ESPD-specific business rules associated to each codelist.
common/lib contains all Java libraries. Please update the libraries so that the version are mutually compatible with both the JDK installed version and each other.
common/sch contains the Schematron rules specific to the ESPD. Those rules must be updated according to changes implemented in the ESPD model.
- 01-ESPD-common-cl-attributes.sch contains the common criterion business rules for attributes that get their values from codelists.
- 01-ESPD-common-cl-values-restrictions.sch contains the restrictions for common criterion business rules for attributes that get their values from codelists - no restrictions for the moment.
- 03-ESPD-common-criterion-br.sch contains the set of rules associated to the cac:TenderingCriterion element for both ESPD Request and ESPD Response.
- 04-ESPD-common-other-br.sch contains the cardinality constraints and other general business rules
common/xml contains the base examples that will be used as input for validation. Specific examples can be found in subfolder validation_samples and can be used for specific validation. This has to be configured manually. Only the base example files are used in the processing chain.
common/xsd contains the general XSD files used for XML validation.
- ContextValueAssociation.xsd is currently not used, but could be used to validate the .cva files.
- genericode.xsd is used to validate Code Lists from gc
- xml.xsd is used by the above .xsd files to validate the XML namespace.
common/xsdrt contains the XSD run-time files for UBL documents validation. ESPD documents are based on UBL Documents QualificationApplicationRequest for Request and QualificationApplicationResponse for Response
common/xsl/ contains generic XSL transformation tools used to transform schematron files, cva files and for internal pipelines. Those files should be updated only if necessary.
- Crane-cva2schXSLT.xsl - used to transform the CVA to SCH
- Crane-Constraints2SchematronXSLT.xsl - used by Crane-cva2schXSLT.xsl
- Crane-genericode-CodeList.xsl - used by Crane-cva2schXSLT.xsl
- Message-Schematron-terminator.xsl - not used
- iso_svrl_for_xslt2.xsl - used to transform Schematron .sch files into XSLT .xsl files
- iso_schematron_skeleton_for_saxon.xsl - used by iso_svrl_for_xslt2.xsl when using the Saxon library
- iso_schematron_skeleton_for_xslt1.xsl - not used
ESPDRequest contains ESPD Request validation related files.
- sch contains Schematron business rules that have to be considered for full validation of the ESPD Request. Some of the files are generated automatically, some are managed manually
- xsl contains the result of transforming Schematron files to XSL. The criterionList.xml file is maintained manually and ESPD-criterion.xml is from ESPD-EDM.
- output contains the results produced by the steps within the internal pipelines. Those files are automatically generated.
ESPDResponse contains ESPD Response validation related files.
- sch contains Schematron business rules that have to be considered for full validation of the ESPD Response. Some of the files are generated automatically, some are managed manually.
- xsl contains the result of transfoming Schmematron files to XSL. The criterionList.xml file is maintained manually and ESPD-criterion.xml is from ESPD-EDM.
- output contains the results produced by the steps within the internal pipelines. Those files are automatically generated.

How to use the tool

The 3 .bat files which comprised the tool in previous releases have been combined into one espd-schematron.bat file in the root folder. You must have a Java environment (JAVA_HOME, Path) set up for the command line execution. This bat file uses the common/lib/xjparse.jar and common/lib/saxon9he.jar libraries.

The order of execution of the bat files in previous releases was: all phases for the ESPD Request, then all phases for the ESPD Response. This order has been changed in the single bat file in this release to be per phase, with both ESPD Request and ESPD Response processed in some phases.

This release contains two alternative files in the root folder: espd-schematron.bat for running in a Windows Command Line window, and espd-schematron.sh, for running in a Unix environment. In either case you must have a Java environment (JAVA_HOME, Path) set up for the command line execution. These files use the common/lib/xjparse.jar and common/lib/saxon9he.jar libraries.

Phase 0 - Code List XML validation against the Genericode schema

All Code List files *.gc are parsed against the Genericode schema common\xsd\genericode.xsd using common\lib\xjparse-app-3.0.0.jar, output is sent to logs\gc\00-GC_Files.txt.

Phase 1 - Code List schematron generation

This phase converts the codelist value constraints document into schematron files (one each for ESPDRequest and ESPDResponse). For each ESPD, the file common\cva\01-ESPD-codelist-values.cva is converted into an XSLT document using common\xsl\Crane-cva2schXSLT.xsl. Then the XSLT documents is run against itself to produce the schematron ESPDRequest\sch\01-ESPD-codelist-values.sch and ESPDResponse\sch\01-ESPD-codelist-values.sch files.

Errors and debugging

for Code List files validation errors please check logs/gc/00-GC_Files.txt
for ESPD Request validation errors please check: logs/ESPDRequest/output files for each step in the pipeline
for ESPD Response validation errors please check: logs/ESPDResponse/output files for each step in the pipeline

Please consult the input source file and the transformation file in order to fix the errors.

How to use the results

Once the validation is executed successfully (check for any errors in the log files, especially validation errors), we can use the files produced in ESPDRequest and ESPDResponse folders to copy to the ESPD-EDM repository validation folder. The files from the ESPD-EDM repository should be copied to validation-resources-espd repository.
