# Ontology data normalization
2+
3+
CASE uses a normalization process to help prevent errors and confusion during version control. This makes sure that the ontology files will reflect only substantive changes.
4+
5+
This file describes the normalization requirement for submitting revisions to the CASE ontology's Turtle files.
6+
7+
The CASE ontology, encoded as Turtle, follows a procedure based on the [`rdf-toolkit`](https://github.com/edmcouncil/rdf-toolkit) utility. For CASE, the "normalized" form of Turtle is the form that results from an idempotent application of rules to settle questions of Turtle style, such as:
8+
9+
* Definition sort order
10+
* Whitespace usage
11+
* Prefix usage
12+
* Comma placement
13+
* Expansion of [collections](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/#collections)
14+
* Blank node placement
15+
16+
The CASE community considers the ontology serialization to be "normalized" when an application of rules to decide the above "stylistic" matters no longer changes a Turtle file.
17+
18+
19+
## Normalization command
20+
21+
This invocation of `rdf-toolkit` shows the flags to be used. "`INPUT_TTL_FILE`" is the CASE Turtle file that is not necessarily normalized. "`OUTPUT_TTL_FILE`" is the resulting Turtle file after normalization. This same command run on "`OUTPUT_TTL_FILE`" as input should produce a file with no further changes.
22+
23+
```
24+
java -jar rdf-toolkit.jar \
25+
--infer-base-iri \
26+
--inline-blank-nodes \
27+
--source INPUT_TTL_FILE \
28+
--source-format turtle \
29+
--target OUTPUT_TTL_FILE \
30+
--target-format turtle
31+
```
32+
33+
34+
## Review procedure
35+
36+
As part of reviewing any Pull Request to the ontology, `rdf-toolkit` is used on the proposed Turtle files. If there is any change from application of `rdf-toolkit`, the ontology maintainers will request the Pull Request be re-submitted. This is to simplify review, and to keep the edit history to ontology files minimal, reducing the potential for confusion in future analysis of revisions.

## Development guidelines
7+
8+
The CASE Ontology Committee models domain concepts, developing the knowledge encodings for the CASE ontology. When these concepts are ready to be encoded as ontology entries, the following guidelines govern their entered forms:
9+
1. Style guidance - The [Style Guide for Documentation of the CASE Ontology](https://caseontology.org/resources/downloads/Style%20Guide%20for%20Documentation%20of%20the%20CASE%20Ontology.pdf) governs the style of ontology entries. An overview presentation on the style guide is available [here](https://caseontology.org/resources/references/CASE%20Style%20Guide%20v1.0%202020-01-14.pdf).
10+
2. Turtle serialization - CASE uses [rdf-toolkit](https://github.com/edmcouncil/rdf-toolkit) to normalize the syntax of ontology Turtle files.
11+
12+
## Examples
13+
14+
Example CASE data and narratives can be found at these locations:
15+
16+
* The [CASE Topics Gallery](https://caseontology.org/ontology/gallery.html)
17+
* The [CASE Examples Repository](https://github.com/casework/CASE-Examples)

Before you post a Github issue or send an email ensure you've done this checklist:
2722

2823
1. [Determined scope](https://caseontology.org/ontology/start.html#scope) of your task. It is not necessary for most parties to understand all aspects of the ontology, mapping methods, and supporting tools.
29-
30-
2. Familiarize yourself with the [labels](https://github.com/casework/CASE/labels) and search the [Issues tab](https://github.com/casework/CASE/issues). Typically, only light-blue and red labels should be used by non-admin Github users while the others should be used by CASE Github admins.
31-
*All but the red `Project` labels are found in every [`casework`](https://github.com/casework) repository.*
24+
2. Search the [Issues tab](https://github.com/casework/CASE/issues) for duplicative issues. Please know, however, that the CASE community primarily tracks issues in a Jira instance available to community members. The Github Issue tracker can still be a way CASE issues are reported by users who have not registered with the community, but work on the issues will be scheduled and tracked in Jira.
