Module tf.convert.tei

TEI import

You can convert any TEI source into TF by specifying a few details about the source.

TF then invokes the tf.convert.walker machinery to produce a TF dataset out of the source.

TF knows the TEI elements, because it will read and parse the complete TEI schema. From this the set of complex, mixed elements is distilled.

If the TEI source conforms to a customised TEI schema, it will be detected and the importer will read it and override the generic information of the TEI elements.

It is also possible to pass a choice of template and adaptation in a processing instruction. This does not influence validation, but it may influence further processing.

If the TEI consists of multiple source files, it is possible to specify different templates and adaptations for different files.

The possible values for models, templates, and adaptations should be declared in the configuration file. For each model there should be a corresponding schema in the schema directory, either an RNG or an XSD file.

The converter goes the extra mile: it generates a TF app and documentation (an about.md file and a transcription.md file), in such a way that the TF browser is instantly usable.

The TEI conversion is rather straightforward because of some conventions that cannot be changed.

Configuration and customization

We assume that you have a programs directory at the top-level of your repo. In this directory we'll look for two optional files:

  • a file tei.yaml in which you specify a bunch of values to get the conversion off the ground.

  • a file tei.py in which you define custom functions that are executed at certain specific hooks:

    • transform(text) which takes a text string argument and delivers a text string as result. The converter will call this on every TEI input file it reads before feeding it to the XML parser. This can be used to solve some quirks in the input, e.g. replacing two consecutive commas (,,) by a single unicode character ( = 201E);
    • beforeTag: just before the walker starts processing the start tag of a TEI element;
    • beforeChildren: just after processing the start tag, but before processing the element content (text and child elements);
    • afterChildren: just after processing the complete element content (text and child elements), but before processing the end tag of the TEI element;
    • afterTag: just after processing the end tag of a TEI element.

      The before and after functions should take the following arguments

      • cv: the walker converter object;
      • cur: the dictionary with information that has been gathered during the conversion so far and that can be used to dump new information into; it is nonlocal, i.e. all invocations of the hooks get the same dictionary object passed to them;
      • xnode: the LXML node corresponding to the TEI element;
      • tag: the tag name of the element, without namespaces; this is a bit redundant, because it can also be extracted from the xnode, but it is convenient.
      • atts: the attributes (names and values) of the element, without namespaces; this is a bit redundant, because it can also be extracted from the xnode, but it is convenient.

      These functions should not return anything, but they can write things to the cur dictionary. And they can create slots, nodes, and terminate them, in short, they can do every cv-based action that is needed.

      You can define these functions out of this context, but it is good to know what information in cur is guaranteed to be available:

      • xnest: the stack of XML tag names seen at this point;
      • tnest: the stack of TF nodes built at this point;
      • tsiblings (only if sibling nodes are being recorded): the list of preceding TF nodes corresponding to the TEI sibling elements of the current TEI element.

Keys and values of the tei.yaml file

generic

dict, optional {}

Metadata for all generated TF features. The actual source version of the TEI files does not have to be stated here, it will be inserted based on the version that the converter will actually use. That version depends on the tei argument passed to the program. The key under which the source version will be inserted is teiVersion.

extra

dict, optional {}

Instructions and metadata for specific generated TF features, namely those that have not been generated by the vanilla TEI conversion, but by extra code in one of the customised hooks. The dict is keyed by feature name, the values are again dictionaries. These value dictionaries have a key meta under which any number of metadata key value pairs, such as description="xxx".

If you put the string «base» in such a field, it will be expanded on the basis of the contents of the path key, see below.

You must provide the key valueType and pass int or str there, depending on the values of the feature. You may provide extra keys, such as conversionMethod="derived", so that other programs can determine what to do with these features. The information in this dict will also end up in the generated feature docs.

Besides the meta key, there may also be the keys path, and nodeType. Together they contain an instruction to produce a feature value from element content that can be found on the current stack of XML nodes and attributes. The value found will be put in the feature in question for the node of type specified in nodeType that is recently constructed.

Example:

extra:
  letterid:
    meta:
      description: The identifier of a letter; «base»
      valueType: str
      conversionMethod: derived
      conversionCode: tt
    path:
      - idno:
        type: letterId
      - altIdentifier
      - msIdentifier
      - msDesc
      - sourceDesc
    nodeType: letter
    feature: letterid

The meaning is:

  • if, while parsing the XML, I encounter an element idno,
  • and if that element has an attribute type with value letterId,
  • and if it has parent altIdentifier,
  • and grandparent msIdentifier,
  • and great-grandparent msDesc,
  • and great-great-grandparent sourceDesc,
  • then look up the last created node of type letter
  • and get the text content of the current XML node (the idno one),
  • and put it in the feature letterid for that node.
  • Moreover, the feature letterid gets metadata as specified under the key meta, where the description will be filled with the text
    The identifier of a letter; the content is taken from sourceDesc/msDesc/msIdentifier/altIdentifier/idno[type=letterId]
    

models

list, optional []

Which TEI-based schemas are to be used. For each model there should be an XSD or RNG file with that name in the schema directory. The tei_all schema is known to TF, no need to specify that one.

We'll try a RelaxNG schema (.rng) first. If that exists, we use it for validation with JING, and we also convert it with TRANG to an XSD schema, which we use for analysing the schema: we want to know which elements are mixed and pure.

If there is no RelaxNG schema, we try an XSD schema (.xsd). If that exists, we can do the analysis, and we will use it also for validation.

Problems with RelaxNG validation

RelaxNG validation is not always reliable when performed with LXML, or any tool based on libxml, for that matter. That's why we try to avoid it. Even if we translate the RelaxNG schema to an XSD schema by means of TRANG, the resulting validation is not always reliable. So we use JING to validate the RelaxNG schema.

See also JING-TRANG.

templates

list, optional []

Which template(s) are to be used. A template is just a keyword, associated with an XML file, that can be used to switch to a specific kind of processing, such as letter, bibliolist, artworklist.

You may specify an element or processing instruction with an attribute that triggers the template for the file in which it is found.

This will be retrieved from the file before XML parsing starts. For example,

    templateTrigger="?editem@template"

will read the file and extract the value of the template attribute of the editem processing instruction and use that as the template for this file. If no template is found in this way, the empty template is assumed.

adaptations

list, optional []

Which adaptations(s) are to be used. An adaptation is just a keyword, associated with an XML file, that can be used to switch to a specific kind of processing. It is meant to trigger tweaks on top of the behaviour of a template.

You may specify an element or processing instruction with an attribute that triggers the adaptation for the file in which it is found.

This will be retrieved from the file before XML parsing starts. For example,

    adaptationTrigger="?editem@adaptation"

will read the file and extract the value of the adaptation attribute of the editem processing instruction and use that as the adaptation for this file. If no adaptation is found in this way, the empty adaptation is assumed.

prelim

boolean, optional True

Whether to work with the pre TF versions. Use this if you convert TEI to a preliminary TF dataset, which will receive NLP additions later on. That version will then lose the pre.

granularity

string, optional token

What to take the basic entities (slots). Possible values:

  • word: words are slots, even if they cross element boundaries. This leads to some imprecisions: words containing an element boundary will belong to just one of both elements around the boundary.
  • char: all individual characters are separate slots. Very precise, but the dataset gets expensive with so many slots.
  • token: every sequence of alphanumeric characters becomes a token, in sofar there is no intervening markup. Non alphanumeric characters become separate tokens. There are some additional rules: . or , tightly surrounded by digits also count as tokens.

The datasets with granularity word and token have features str for the string content of the slots, and after for the material after the slots. In the case of word, the feature after can contain whitespace and punctuation characters, in the case of token, it only contains whitespace.

If not, the characters are taken as basic entities.

If you use an NLP pipeline to detect tokens, use the value False. The preliminary dataset is then based on characters, but the final dataset that we build from there is based on tokens, which are mostly words and non-word characters.

parentEdges

boolean, optional True

Whether to create edges between nodes that correspond to XML elements and their parents.

siblingEdges

boolean, optional False

Whether to create edges between nodes that correspond to XML elements and siblings. Edges will be created between each sibling and its preceding siblings. If you use these edges in the binary way, you can also find the following siblings. The edges are labeled with the distance between the siblings, adjacent siblings get distance 1.

Overwhelming space requirement

If the corpus is divided into relatively few elements that each have very many direct children, the number of sibling edges is comparable to the size of the corpus squared. That means that the TF dataset will consist for 50-99% of sibling edges! An example is ETCBC/nestle1904 (Greek New Testament) where each book element has all of its sentences as direct children. In that dataset, the siblings would occupy 40% of the size, and we have taken care not to produce sibling edges for sentences.

procins

boolean, optional False

If True, processing instructions will be treated. Processing instruction <?foo bar="xxx"?> will be converted as if it were an empty element named foo with attribute bar with value xxx.

lineModel

dict, optional False

If not passed, or an empty dict, line model I is assumed. A line model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the model:

dict(
    model="I",
)

(model I does not require any parameters)

or

dict(
    model="II",
    element="p",
    nodeType="ln",
)

For model II, the default parameters are:

element="p",
nodeType="ln",

Model I is the default, and nothing special happens to the <lb> elements.

In model II the <lb> elements translate to nodes of type ln, which span content, whereas the original lb elements just mark positions. Instead of ln, you can also specify another node type by the parameter element.

We assume that the material that the <lb> elements divide up is the material that corresponds to their <p> parent element. Instead of <p>, you can also specify another element in the parameter element.

We assume that lines start and end at the start and end of the <p> elements and the <lb> elements. For the material etween these boundaries, we build ln nodes. If an <lb> element follows a <p> start tag without intervening slots, a ln node will be created but not linked to slots, and it will be deleted later in the conversion. Likewise, if an <lb> element is followed by a <p> end tag without intervening slots, a ln node is created that is not linked to slots.

The attributes of the <lb> elements become features of the ln node that starts with that <lb> element. If there is no explicit <lb> element at the start of a paragraph, the first ln node of that paragraph gets no features.

pageModel

dict, optional False

If not passed, or an empty dict, page model I is assumed. A page model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the model:

dict(
    model="I",
)

(model I does not require any parameters)

or

dict(
    model="II",
    keepPb=False,
    element="div",
    attributes=dict(type=["original", "translation"]),
    pbAtTop=True,
    nodeType="page",
)

For model II, the default parameters are:

keepPb=False,
element="div",
pbAtTop=True,
nodeType="page",
attributes={},

Model I is the default, and nothing special happens to the <pb> elements.

In model II the <pb> elements translate to nodes of type page, which span content, whereas the original pb elements just mark positions. Instead of page, you can also specify another node type by the parameter element.

The original <pb> elements will not end up as nodes in the output, they are suppressed in favour of the new page nodes. But if you want them nevertheless, you may specify keepPb=True, which will convert them into nodes linked to a single, empty slot. There is one complication: the slots thus created may fall outside any chunk, which is undesired, because then they will not be shown if you display the corpus as a sequence of chunks. We will make sure to create a chunk around those pb nodes.

We assume that the material that the <pb> elements divide up is the material that corresponds to their <div> parent element. Instead of <div>, you can also specify another element in the parameter element.

If you want to restrict the parent elements of pages, you can do so by specifying attributes, like type="original". Then only parents that carry those attributes will be chopped up into pages. You can specify multiple values for each attribute. Elements that carry one of these values are candidates for having their content divided into pages.

We assume that the material to be divided starts with a <pb> (as the TEI-guidelines prescribe) and we translate it to a page element that we close either at the next <pb> or at the end of the div.

But if you specify pbAtTop=False, we assume that the <pb> marks the end of the corresponding page element. We start the first page at the start of the enclosing element. If there is material at between the last <pb> till the end of the enclosing element, we generate an extra page node without features.

sectionModel

dict, optional {}

If not passed, or an empty dict, section model I is assumed. A section model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the model:

dict(
    model="II",
    levels=["chapter", "chunk"],
    element="head",
    attributes=dict(rend="h3"),
)

(model I does not require the element and attribute parameters)

or

dict(
    model="I",
    levels=["folder", "file", "chunk"],
)

This section model (I) accepts a few other parameters:

    backMatter="backmatter"

This is the name of the folder that should not be treated as an ordinary folder, but as the folder with the sources for the back-matter, such as references, lists, indices, bibliography, biographies, etc.

    drillDownDivs=True

Whether the chunks are the immediate children of body elements, or whether we should drill through all intervening div levels.

For model II, the default parameters are:

element="head"
levels=["chapter", "chunk"],
attributes={}

In model I, there are three section levels in total. The corpus is divided in folders (section level 1), files (section level 2), and chunks within files. The parameter levels allows you to choose names for the node types of these section levels.

In model II, there are 2 section levels in total. The corpus consists of a single file, and section nodes will be added for nodes at various levels, mainly outermost <div> and <p> elements and their siblings of other element types. The section heading for the second level is taken from elements in the neighbourhood, whose name is given in the parameter element, but only if they carry some attributes, which can be specified in the attributes parameter.

Usage

Command-line

tf-fromtei tasks flags

From Python

from tf.convert.tei import TEI

T = TEI()
T.task(**tasks, **flags)

For a short overview the tasks and flags, see HELP.

Tasks

We have the following conversion tasks:

  1. check: makes and inventory of all XML elements and attributes used.
  2. convert: produces actual TF files by converting XML files.
  3. load: loads the generated TF for the first time, by which the pre-computation step is triggered. During pre-computation some checks are performed. Once this has succeeded, we have a workable TF dataset.
  4. app: creates or updates a corpus specific TF app with minimal sensible settings, plus basic documentation.
  5. apptoken: updates a corpus specific TF app from a character-based dataset to a token-based dataset.
  6. browse: starts the TF browser on the newly created dataset.

Tasks can be run by passing any choice of task keywords to the TEI.task() method.

Note on versions

The TEI source files come in versions, indicated with a data. The converter picks the most recent one, unless you specify an other one:

tf-from-tei tei=-2  # previous version
tf-from-tei tei=0  # first version
tf-from-tei tei=3  # third version
tf-from-tei tei=2019-12-23  # explicit version

The resulting TF data is independently versioned, like 1.2.3 or 1.2.3pre. When the converter runs, by default it overwrites the most recent version, unless you specify another one.

It looks at the latest version and then bumps a part of the version number.

tf-fromtei tf=3  # minor version, 1.2.3 becomes 1.2.4; 1.2.3pre becomes 1.2.4pre
tf-fromtei tf=2  # intermediate version, 1.2.3 becomes 1.3.0
tf-fromtei tf=1  # major version, 1.2.3 becomes 2.0.0
tf-fromtei tf=1.8.3  # explicit version

# TEI import

You can convert any TEI source into TF by specifying a few details about the source.

TF then invokes the `tf.convert.walker` machinery to produce a TF
dataset out of the source.

TF knows the TEI elements, because it will read and parse the complete
TEI schema. From this the set of complex, mixed elements is distilled.

If the TEI source conforms to a customised TEI schema, it will be detected and
the importer will read it and override the generic information of the TEI elements.

It is also possible to pass a choice of template and adaptation in a processing
instruction. This does not influence validation, but it may influence further
processing.

If the TEI consists of multiple source files, it is possible to specify different
templates and adaptations for different files.

The possible values for models, templates, and adaptations should be declared in
the configuration file.
For each model there should be a corresponding schema in the schema directory,
either an RNG or an XSD file.

The converter goes the extra mile: it generates a TF app and documentation
(an *about.md* file and a *transcription.md* file), in such a way that the TF
browser is instantly usable.

The TEI conversion is rather straightforward because of some conventions
that cannot be changed.

# Configuration and customization

We assume that you have a `programs` directory at the top-level of your repo.
In this directory we'll look for two optional files:

*   a file `tei.yaml` in which you specify a bunch of values to
    get the conversion off the ground.

*   a file `tei.py` in which you define custom functions that are executed at certain
    specific hooks:

    *   `transform(text)` which takes a text string argument and delivers a
        text string as result. The converter will call this on every TEI input
        file it reads *before* feeding it to the XML parser.
        This can be used to solve some quirks in the input, e.g. replacing two
        consecutive commas (`,,`) by a single unicode character (`„` = 201E);
    *   `beforeTag`: just before the walker starts processing the start tag of
        a TEI element;
    *   `beforeChildren`: just after processing the start tag, but before processing
        the element content (text and child elements);
    *   `afterChildren`: just after processing the complete element content
        (text and child elements), but before processing the end tag of the
        TEI element;
    *   `afterTag`: just after processing the end tag of a TEI element.

        The  `before` and `after` functions should take the following arguments

        *   `cv`: the walker converter object;
        *   `cur`: the dictionary with information that has been gathered during the
            conversion so far and that can be used to dump new information
            into; it is nonlocal, i.e. all invocations of the hooks get the same
            dictionary object passed to them;
        *   `xnode`: the LXML node corresponding to the TEI element;
        *   `tag`: the tag name of the element, without namespaces;
            this is a bit redundant, because it can also be extracted from
            the `xnode`, but it is convenient.
        *   `atts`: the attributes (names and values) of the element,
            without namespaces;
            this is a bit redundant, because it can also be extracted from
            the `xnode`, but it is convenient.

        These functions should not return anything, but they can write things to
        the `cur` dictionary.
        And they can create slots, nodes, and terminate them, in short, they
        can do every `cv`-based action that is needed.

        You can define these functions out of this context, but it is good to know
        what information in `cur` is guaranteed to be available:

        *   `xnest`: the stack of XML tag names seen at this point;
        *   `tnest`: the stack of TF nodes built at this point;
        *   `tsiblings` (only if sibling nodes are being recorded): the list of
            preceding TF nodes corresponding to the TEI sibling elements of the
            current TEI element.

## Keys and values of the `tei.yaml` file

### `generic`

dict, optional `{}`

Metadata for all generated TF features.
The actual source version of the TEI files does not have to be stated here,
it will be inserted based on the version that the converter will actually use.
That version depends on the `tei` argument passed to the program.
The key under which the source version will be inserted is `teiVersion`.

### `extra`

dict, optional `{}`

Instructions and metadata for specific generated TF features, namely those that
have not been generated by the vanilla TEI conversion, but by extra code in one
of the customised hooks.
The dict is keyed by feature name, the values are again dictionaries.
These value dictionaries have a key meta under which any number of metadata key value
pairs, such as `description="xxx"`.

If you put the string «base» in such a field, it will be expanded on the
basis of the contents of the `path` key, see below.

You must provide the key `valueType` and pass `int` or `str` there, depending on the
values of the feature.
You may provide extra keys, such as `conversionMethod="derived"`, so that other programs
can determine what to do with these features.
The information in this dict will also end up in the generated feature docs.

Besides the `meta` key, there may also be the keys `path`, and `nodeType`.
Together they contain an instruction to produce a feature value from element content
that can be found on the current stack of XML nodes and attributes.
The value found will be put in the feature in question
for the node of type specified in `nodeType` that is recently constructed.

Example:

``` yaml
extra:
  letterid:
    meta:
      description: The identifier of a letter; «base»
      valueType: str
      conversionMethod: derived
      conversionCode: tt
    path:
      - idno:
        type: letterId
      - altIdentifier
      - msIdentifier
      - msDesc
      - sourceDesc
    nodeType: letter
    feature: letterid
```

The meaning is:

*   if, while parsing the XML, I encounter an element `idno`,
*   and if that element has an attribute `type` with value `letterId`,
*   and if it has parent `altIdentifier`,
*   and grandparent `msIdentifier`,
*   and great-grandparent `msDesc`,
*   and great-great-grandparent `sourceDesc`,
*   then look up the last created node of type `letter`
*   and get the text content of the current XML node (the `idno` one),
*   and put it in the feature `letterid` for that node.
*   Moreover, the feature `letterid` gets metadata as specified under the key `meta`,
    where the `description` will be filled with the text

        The identifier of a letter; the content is taken from sourceDesc/msDesc/msIdentifier/altIdentifier/idno[type=letterId]

### `models`

list, optional `[]`

Which TEI-based schemas are to be used.
For each model there should be an XSD or RNG file with that name in the `schema`
directory. The `tei_all` schema is known to TF, no need to specify that one.

We'll try a RelaxNG schema (`.rng`) first. If that exists, we use it for validation
with JING, and we also convert it with TRANG to an XSD schema, which we use for
analysing the schema: we want to know which elements are mixed and pure.

If there is no RelaxNG schema, we try an XSD schema (`.xsd`). If that exists,
we can do the analysis, and we will use it also for validation.

!!! note "Problems with RelaxNG validation"
    RelaxNG validation is not always reliable when performed with LXML, or any tool
    based on `libxml`, for that matter. That's why we try to avoid it. Even if we
    translate the RelaxNG schema to an XSD schema by means of TRANG, the resulting
    validation is not always reliable. So we use JING to validate the RelaxNG schema.

See also [JING-TRANG](https://code.google.com/archive/p/jing-trang/downloads).

### `templates`

list, optional `[]`

Which template(s) are to be used.
A template is just a keyword, associated with an XML file, that can be used to switch
to a specific kind of processing, such as `letter`, `bibliolist`, `artworklist`.

You may specify an element or processing instruction with an attribute
that triggers the template for the file in which it is found.

This will be retrieved from the file before XML parsing starts.
For example,

``` python
    templateTrigger="?editem@template"
```

will read the file and extract the value of the `template` attribute of the `editem`
processing instruction and use that as the template for this file.
If no template is found in this way, the empty template is assumed.

### `adaptations`

list, optional `[]`

Which adaptations(s) are to be used.
An adaptation is just a keyword, associated with an XML file, that can be used to switch
to a specific kind of processing.
It is meant to trigger tweaks on top of the behaviour of a template.

You may specify an element or processing instruction with an attribute
that triggers the adaptation for the file in which it is found.

This will be retrieved from the file before XML parsing starts.
For example,

``` python
    adaptationTrigger="?editem@adaptation"
```

will read the file and extract the value of the `adaptation` attribute of the `editem`
processing instruction and use that as the adaptation for this file.
If no adaptation is found in this way, the empty adaptation is assumed.

### `prelim`

boolean, optional `True`

Whether to work with the `pre` TF versions.
Use this if you convert TEI to a preliminary TF dataset, which will
receive NLP additions later on. That version will then lose the `pre`.

### `granularity`

string, optional `token`

What to take the basic entities (slots). Possible values:

*   `word`: words are slots, even if they cross element boundaries. This leads to some
    imprecisions: words containing an element boundary will belong to just one
    of both elements around the boundary.
*   `char`: all individual characters are separate slots. Very precise, but the dataset
    gets expensive with so many slots.
*   `token`: every sequence of alphanumeric characters becomes a token, in sofar there
    is no intervening markup. Non alphanumeric characters become separate tokens.
    There are some additional rules: `.` or `,` tightly surrounded by digits also
    count as tokens.

The datasets with granularity `word` and `token` have features `str` for the string
content of the slots, and `after` for the material after the slots.
In the case of `word`, the feature `after` can contain whitespace and punctuation
characters, in the case of `token`, it only contains whitespace.

If not, the characters are taken as basic entities.

If you use an NLP pipeline to detect tokens, use the value `False`.
The preliminary dataset is then based on characters, but the final dataset that we build
from there is based on tokens, which are mostly words and non-word characters.

### `parentEdges`

boolean, optional `True`

Whether to create edges between nodes that correspond to XML elements and their parents.

### `siblingEdges`

boolean, optional `False`

Whether to create edges between nodes that correspond to XML elements and siblings.
Edges will be created between each sibling and its *preceding* siblings.
If you use these edges in the binary way, you can also find the following siblings.
The edges are labeled with the distance between the siblings, adjacent siblings
get distance 1.

!!! caution "Overwhelming space requirement"
    If the corpus is divided into relatively few elements that each have very many
    direct children, the number of sibling edges is comparable to the size of the
    corpus squared. That means that the TF dataset will consist for 50-99% of
    sibling edges!
    An example is [ETCBC/nestle1904](https://github.com/ETCBC/nestle1904) (Greek New
    Testament) where each book element has all of its sentences as direct children.
    In that dataset, the siblings would occupy 40% of the size, and we have taken care
    not to produce sibling edges for sentences.

### `procins`

boolean, optional `False`

If True, processing instructions will be treated.
Processing instruction `<?foo bar="xxx"?>` will be converted as if it were an empty
element named `foo` with attribute `bar` with value `xxx`.


### `lineModel`

dict, optional `False`

If not passed, or an empty dict, line model I is assumed.
A line model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the
model:

``` python
dict(
    model="I",
)
```

(model I does not require any parameters)

or

``` python
dict(
    model="II",
    element="p",
    nodeType="ln",
)
```

For model II, the default parameters are:

``` python
element="p",
nodeType="ln",
```

Model I is the default, and nothing special happens to the `<lb>` elements.

In model II the `<lb>` elements translate to nodes of type `ln`, which span
content, whereas the original `lb` elements just mark positions.
Instead of `ln`, you can also specify another node type by the parameter `element`.

We assume that the material that the `<lb>` elements divide up is the material
that corresponds to their `<p>` parent element. Instead of `<p>`,
you can also specify another element in the parameter `element`.

We assume that lines start and end at the start and end of the `<p>` elements and
the `<lb>` elements. For the material etween these boundaries, we build `ln` nodes.
If an `<lb>` element follows a `<p>` start tag without intervening slots, a `ln`
node will be created but not linked to slots, and it will be deleted later in
the conversion.
Likewise, if an `<lb>` element is followed by a `<p>` end tag without
intervening slots, a `ln` node is created that is not linked to slots.

The attributes of the `<lb>` elements become features of the `ln` node that starts
with that `<lb>` element. If there is no explicit `<lb>` element at the start of
a paragraph, the first `ln` node of that paragraph gets no features.


### `pageModel`

dict, optional `False`

If not passed, or an empty dict, page model I is assumed.
A page model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the
model:

``` python
dict(
    model="I",
)
```

(model I does not require any parameters)

or

``` python
dict(
    model="II",
    keepPb=False,
    element="div",
    attributes=dict(type=["original", "translation"]),
    pbAtTop=True,
    nodeType="page",
)
```

For model II, the default parameters are:

``` python
keepPb=False,
element="div",
pbAtTop=True,
nodeType="page",
attributes={},
```

Model I is the default, and nothing special happens to the `<pb>` elements.

In model II the `<pb>` elements translate to nodes of type `page`, which span
content, whereas the original `pb` elements just mark positions.
Instead of `page`, you can also specify another node type by the parameter `element`.

The original `<pb>` elements will not end up as nodes in the output, they are
suppressed in favour of the new `page` nodes. But if you want them nevertheless,
you may specify `keepPb=True`, which will convert them into nodes linked to a single,
empty slot. There is one complication: the slots thus created may fall outside any
chunk, which is undesired, because then they will not be shown if you display the
corpus as a sequence of chunks. We will make sure to create a chunk around those
`pb` nodes.

We assume that the material that the `<pb>` elements divide up is the material
that corresponds to their `<div>` parent element. Instead of `<div>`,
you can also specify another element in the parameter `element`.

If you want to restrict the parent elements of pages, you can do so by specifying
attributes, like `type="original"`. Then only parents that carry those attributes
will be chopped up into pages.
You can specify multiple values for each attribute. Elements that carry one of these
values are candidates for having their content divided into pages.

We assume that the material to be divided starts with a `<pb>` (as the TEI-guidelines
prescribe) and we translate it to a page element that we close either at the
next `<pb>` or at the end of the `div`.

But if you specify `pbAtTop=False`, we assume that the `<pb>` marks the end of
the corresponding page element. We start the first page at the start of the enclosing
element. If there is material at between the last `<pb>` till the end of the enclosing
element, we generate an extra page node without features.


### `sectionModel`

dict, optional `{}`

If not passed, or an empty dict, section model I is assumed.
A section model must be specified with the parameters relevant for the
model:

``` python
dict(
    model="II",
    levels=["chapter", "chunk"],
    element="head",
    attributes=dict(rend="h3"),
)
```

(model I does not require the *element* and *attribute* parameters)

or

``` python
dict(
    model="I",
    levels=["folder", "file", "chunk"],
)
```

This section model (I) accepts a few other parameters:

``` python
    backMatter="backmatter"
```

This is the name of the folder that should not be treated as an ordinary folder, but
as the folder with the sources for the back-matter, such as references, lists, indices,
bibliography, biographies, etc.

``` python
    drillDownDivs=True
```

Whether the chunks are the immediate children of `body` elements, or whether
we should drill through all intervening `div` levels.

For model II, the default parameters are:

``` python
element="head"
levels=["chapter", "chunk"],
attributes={}
```

In model I, there are three section levels in total.
The corpus is divided in folders (section level 1), files (section level 2),
and chunks within files. The parameter `levels` allows you to choose names for the
node types of these section levels.

In model II, there are 2 section levels in total.
The corpus consists of a single file, and section nodes will be added
for nodes at various levels, mainly outermost `<div>` and `<p>` elements and their
siblings of other element types.
The section heading for the second level is taken from elements in the neighbourhood,
whose name is given in the parameter `element`, but only if they carry some attributes,
which can be specified in the `attributes` parameter.


# Usage

## Command-line

``` sh
tf-fromtei tasks flags
```

## From Python

``` python
from tf.convert.tei import TEI

T = TEI()
T.task(**tasks, **flags)
```

For a short overview the tasks and flags, see `HELP`.

## Tasks

We have the following conversion tasks:

1.  `check`: makes and inventory of all XML elements and attributes used.
1.  `convert`: produces actual TF files by converting XML files.
1.  `load`: loads the generated TF for the first time, by which the pre-computation
    step is triggered. During pre-computation some checks are performed. Once this
    has succeeded, we have a workable TF dataset.
1.  `app`: creates or updates a corpus specific TF app with minimal sensible settings,
    plus basic documentation.
1.  `apptoken`: updates a corpus specific TF app from a character-based dataset
    to a token-based dataset.
1.  `browse`: starts the TF browser on the newly created dataset.

Tasks can be run by passing any choice of task keywords to the
`TEI.task()` method.

## Note on versions

The TEI source files come in versions, indicated with a data.
The converter picks the most recent one, unless you specify an other one:

``` python
tf-from-tei tei=-2  # previous version
tf-from-tei tei=0  # first version
tf-from-tei tei=3  # third version
tf-from-tei tei=2019-12-23  # explicit version
```

The resulting TF data is independently versioned, like `1.2.3` or `1.2.3pre`.
When the converter runs, by default it overwrites the most recent version,
unless you specify another one.

It looks at the latest version and then bumps a part of the version number.

``` python
tf-fromtei tf=3  # minor version, 1.2.3 becomes 1.2.4; 1.2.3pre becomes 1.2.4pre
tf-fromtei tf=2  # intermediate version, 1.2.3 becomes 1.3.0
tf-fromtei tf=1  # major version, 1.2.3 becomes 2.0.0
tf-fromtei tf=1.8.3  # explicit version
```

## Examples

Exactly how you can call the methods of this module is demonstrated in the small
corpus of 14 letter by the Dutch artist Piet Mondriaan.

        For documentation of the resulting encoding, read the
        [transcription template](https://github.com/annotation/text-fabric/blob/master/tf/convert/app/transcription.md).

        Below we describe how to control the conversion machinery.

        We adopt a fair bit of "convention over configuration" here, in order to lessen
        the burden for the user of specifying so many details.

        Based on current directory from where the script is called,
        it defines all the ingredients to carry out
        a `tf.convert.walker` conversion of the TEI input.

        This function is assumed to work in the context of a repository,
        i.e. a directory on your computer relative to which the input directory exists,
        and various output directories: `tf`, `app`, `docs`.

        Your current directory must be at

        ```
        ~/backend/org/repo/relative
        ```

        where

        *   `~` is your home directory;
        *   `backend` is an online back-end name,
            like `github`, `gitlab`, `git.huc.knaw.nl`;
        *   `org` is an organization, person, or group in the back-end;
        *   `repo` is a repository in the `org`.
        *   `relative` is a directory path within the repo (0 or more components)

        This is only about the directory structure on your local computer;
        it is not required that you have online incarnations of your repository
        in that back-end.
        Even your local repository does not have to be a git repository.

        The only thing that matters is that the full path to your repo can be parsed
        as a sequence of `home/backend/org/repo/relative`.

        Relative to this directory the program expects and creates
        input / output directories.

        ## Input directories

        ### `sourceBase`

        *Top-level directory of the TEI-XML sources.*

        By default (if left empty) it is the `tei` directory at the top-level of the
        repo, but you can specify any directory you want.

        ### `tei`

        *Location of the TEI-XML sources.*

        **If it does not exist, the program aborts with an error.**

        Several levels of subdirectories are assumed:

        1.  the version of the source (this could be a date string).
        1.  volumes / collections of documents. The subdirectory `__ignore__` is ignored.
        1.  the TEI documents themselves, conforming to the TEI schema or some
            customization of it.

        ### `schema`

        *TEI or other XML schemas against which the sources can be validated.*

        They should be XSD or RNG files.

        !!! note "Multiple XSD files"
            When you started with a RNG file and used `tf.tools.xmlschema` to
            convert it to XSD, you may have got multiple XSD files.
            One of them has the same base name as the original RNG file,
            and you should pass that name. It will import the remaining XSD files,
            so do not throw them away.

        We use these files as custom TEI schemas,
        but to be sure, we still analyse the full TEI schema and
        use the schemas here as a set of overriding element definitions.

        ## Output directories

        ### `report`

        Directory to write the results of the `check` task to: an inventory
        of elements / attributes encountered, and possible validation errors.
        If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
        The default value is `.` (i.e. the current directory in which
        the script is invoked).

        ### `tf`

        The directory under which the TF output file (with extension `.tf`)
        are placed.
        If it does not exist, it will be created.
        The TF files will be generated in a folder named by a version number,
        passed as `tfVersion`.

        ### `app` and `docs`

        Location of additional TF app configuration and documentation files.
        If they do not exist, they will be created with some sensible default
        settings and generated documentation.
        These settings can be overridden in the `app/config_custom.yaml` file.
        Also a default `display.css` file and a logo are added.

        Custom content for these files can be provided in files
        with `_custom` appended to their base name.

        ### `docs`

        Location of additional documentation.
        This can be generated or hand-written material, or a mixture of the two.

        Parameters
        ----------
        tei: string, optional None
            If empty, assume the `tei` directory with sources is not versioned.

            Otherwise it should be a valid integer, and it is the index in the
            sorted list of versions there.

            *   `0` or `latest`: latest version;
            *   `-1`, `-2`, ... : previous version, version before previous, ...;
            *   `1`, `2`, ...: first version, second version, ....
            *   everything else that is not a number is an explicit version

            If the value cannot be parsed as an integer, it is used as the exact
            version name.

        tf: string, optional ""
            If empty, the TF version used will be the latest one under the `tf`
            directory. If the parameter `prelim` was used in the initialization of
            the TEI object, only versions ending in `pre` will be taken into account.

            If it can be parsed as the integers 1, 2, or 3 it will bump the latest
            relevant TF version:

            *   `0` or `latest`: overwrite the latest version
            *   `1` will bump the major version

            It depends on the section model, but also on the template.

            Note that we only can have distinct templates if we deal with
            multiple files, so only when we are in section model I.

            ## Model I

            Chunks are the lowest section level (the higher levels are folders
            and then files)

            The default is that chunks are the immediate children of the
            `<teiHeader>` and the `<body>`
            elements; a few other elements also count as chunks.

            However, if `drillDownDivs` is True and if the chunk appears to be
            a `<div>` element, we drill further down, until we arrive at a
            non-`<div>` element.

            But in specific templates we have different rules:

            ### `bibliolist`:

            *   The TEI Header is a chunk, and nothing inside the TEI header is a chunk;
            *   Everything at level 5, except `<listBibl>` is a chunk;
            *   The children of `<listBibl>` are chunks (the `<bibl>` elements
                and a few others), provided they are at level 6.

            ### `artworklist`

            *   The TEI Header is a chunk, and nothing inside the TEI header is a chunk;
            *   Everything at level 5 is a chunk.

            ## Model II

            Chunks are the lowest section level (the only higher level is chapters).

            Chunks are the immediate children of the chapters, and they come in two
            kinds: the ones that are `<p>` elements, and the rest.

            Deviation from this rule:

            *   If a chapter is a mixed content node, then it is also a chunk.
                and its subelements are not chunks

Classes

class TEI (sourceBase='', tei='latest', tf='latest', validate=True, verbose=-1)

Converts TEI to TF.

For documentation of the resulting encoding, read the transcription template.

Below we describe how to control the conversion machinery.

We adopt a fair bit of "convention over configuration" here, in order to lessen the burden for the user of specifying so many details.

Based on current directory from where the script is called, it defines all the ingredients to carry out a tf.convert.walker conversion of the TEI input.

This function is assumed to work in the context of a repository, i.e. a directory on your computer relative to which the input directory exists, and various output directories: tf, app, docs.

Your current directory must be at

~/backend/org/repo/relative

where

  • ~ is your home directory;
  • backend is an online back-end name, like github, gitlab, git.huc.knaw.nl;
  • org is an organization, person, or group in the back-end;
  • repo is a repository in the org.
  • relative is a directory path within the repo (0 or more components)

This is only about the directory structure on your local computer; it is not required that you have online incarnations of your repository in that back-end. Even your local repository does not have to be a git repository.

The only thing that matters is that the full path to your repo can be parsed as a sequence of home/backend/org/repo/relative.

Relative to this directory the program expects and creates input / output directories.

Input directories

sourceBase

Top-level directory of the TEI-XML sources.

By default (if left empty) it is the tei directory at the top-level of the repo, but you can specify any directory you want.

tei

Location of the TEI-XML sources.

If it does not exist, the program aborts with an error.

Several levels of subdirectories are assumed:

  1. the version of the source (this could be a date string).
  2. volumes / collections of documents. The subdirectory __ignore__ is ignored.
  3. the TEI documents themselves, conforming to the TEI schema or some customization of it.

schema

TEI or other XML schemas against which the sources can be validated.

They should be XSD or RNG files.

Multiple XSD files

When you started with a RNG file and used tf.tools.xmlschema to convert it to XSD, you may have got multiple XSD files. One of them has the same base name as the original RNG file, and you should pass that name. It will import the remaining XSD files, so do not throw them away.

We use these files as custom TEI schemas, but to be sure, we still analyse the full TEI schema and use the schemas here as a set of overriding element definitions.

Output directories

report

Directory to write the results of the check task to: an inventory of elements / attributes encountered, and possible validation errors. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. The default value is . (i.e. the current directory in which the script is invoked).

tf

The directory under which the TF output file (with extension .tf) are placed. If it does not exist, it will be created. The TF files will be generated in a folder named by a version number, passed as tfVersion.

app and docs

Location of additional TF app configuration and documentation files. If they do not exist, they will be created with some sensible default settings and generated documentation. These settings can be overridden in the app/config_custom.yaml file. Also a default display.css file and a logo are added.

Custom content for these files can be provided in files with _custom appended to their base name.

docs

Location of additional documentation. This can be generated or hand-written material, or a mixture of the two.

Parameters

tei : string, optional None

If empty, assume the tei directory with sources is not versioned.

Otherwise it should be a valid integer, and it is the index in the sorted list of versions there.

  • 0 or latest: latest version;
  • -1, -2, … : previous version, version before previous, …;
  • 1, 2, …: first version, second version, ....
  • everything else that is not a number is an explicit version

If the value cannot be parsed as an integer, it is used as the exact version name.

tf : string, optional ""

If empty, the TF version used will be the latest one under the tf directory. If the parameter prelim was used in the initialization of the TEI object, only versions ending in pre will be taken into account.

If it can be parsed as the integers 1, 2, or 3 it will bump the latest relevant TF version:

  • 0 or latest: overwrite the latest version
  • 1 will bump the major version
  • 2 will bump the intermediate version
  • 3 will bump the minor version
  • everything else is an explicit version

Otherwise, the value is taken as the exact version name.

verbose : integer, optional -1
Produce no (-1), some (0) or many (1) progress and reporting messages

        Below we describe how to control the conversion machinery.

        We adopt a fair bit of "convention over configuration" here, in order to lessen
        the burden for the user of specifying so many details.

        Based on current directory from where the script is called,
        it defines all the ingredients to carry out
        a `tf.convert.walker` conversion of the TEI input.

        This function is assumed to work in the context of a repository,
        i.e. a directory on your computer relative to which the input directory exists,
        and various output directories: `tf`, `app`, `docs`.

        Your current directory must be at

        ```
        ~/backend/org/repo/relative
        ```

        where

        *   `~` is your home directory;
        *   `backend` is an online back-end name,
            like `github`, `gitlab`, `git.huc.knaw.nl`;
        *   `org` is an organization, person, or group in the back-end;
        *   `repo` is a repository in the `org`.
        *   `relative` is a directory path within the repo (0 or more components)

        This is only about the directory structure on your local computer;
        it is not required that you have online incarnations of your repository
        in that back-end.
        Even your local repository does not have to be a git repository.

        The only thing that matters is that the full path to your repo can be parsed
        as a sequence of `home/backend/org/repo/relative`.

        Relative to this directory the program expects and creates
        input / output directories.

        ## Input directories

        ### `sourceBase`

        *Top-level directory of the TEI-XML sources.*

        By default (if left empty) it is the `tei` directory at the top-level of the
        repo, but you can specify any directory you want.

        ### `tei`

        *Location of the TEI-XML sources.*

        **If it does not exist, the program aborts with an error.**

        Several levels of subdirectories are assumed:

        1.  the version of the source (this could be a date string).
        1.  volumes / collections of documents. The subdirectory `__ignore__` is ignored.
        1.  the TEI documents themselves, conforming to the TEI schema or some
            customization of it.

        ### `schema`

        *TEI or other XML schemas against which the sources can be validated.*

        They should be XSD or RNG files.

        !!! note "Multiple XSD files"
            When you started with a RNG file and used `tf.tools.xmlschema` to
            convert it to XSD, you may have got multiple XSD files.
            One of them has the same base name as the original RNG file,
            and you should pass that name. It will import the remaining XSD files,
            so do not throw them away.

        We use these files as custom TEI schemas,
        but to be sure, we still analyse the full TEI schema and
        use the schemas here as a set of overriding element definitions.

        ## Output directories

        ### `report`

        Directory to write the results of the `check` task to: an inventory
        of elements / attributes encountered, and possible validation errors.
        If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
        The default value is `.` (i.e. the current directory in which
        the script is invoked).

        ### `tf`

        The directory under which the TF output file (with extension `.tf`)
        are placed.
        If it does not exist, it will be created.
        The TF files will be generated in a folder named by a version number,
        passed as `tfVersion`.

        ### `app` and `docs`

        Location of additional TF app configuration and documentation files.
        If they do not exist, they will be created with some sensible default
        settings and generated documentation.
        These settings can be overridden in the `app/config_custom.yaml` file.
        Also a default `display.css` file and a logo are added.

        Custom content for these files can be provided in files
        with `_custom` appended to their base name.

        ### `docs`

        Location of additional documentation.
        This can be generated or hand-written material, or a mixture of the two.

        Parameters
        ----------
        tei: string, optional None
            If empty, assume the `tei` directory with sources is not versioned.

            Otherwise it should be a valid integer, and it is the index in the
            sorted list of versions there.

            *   `0` or `latest`: latest version;
            *   `-1`, `-2`, ... : previous version, version before previous, ...;
            *   `1`, `2`, ...: first version, second version, ....
            *   everything else that is not a number is an explicit version

            If the value cannot be parsed as an integer, it is used as the exact
            version name.

        tf: string, optional ""
            If empty, the TF version used will be the latest one under the `tf`
            directory. If the parameter `prelim` was used in the initialization of
            the TEI object, only versions ending in `pre` will be taken into account.

            If it can be parsed as the integers 1, 2, or 3 it will bump the latest
            relevant TF version:

            *   `0` or `latest`: overwrite the latest version
            *   `1` will bump the major version
            *   `2` will bump the intermediate version
            *   `3` will bump the minor version
            *   everything else is an explicit version

            Otherwise, the value is taken as the exact version name.

        It validates the TEI, but only if a schema file has been passed explicitly
        when constructing the `TEI()` object.

        Then it makes an inventory of all elements and attributes in the TEI files.

        If tags are used in multiple namespaces, it will be reported.

        !!! caution "Conflation of namespaces"
            The TEI to TF conversion does construct node types and attributes
            without taking namespaces into account.
            However, the parsing process is namespace aware.

        The inventory lists all elements and attributes, and many attribute values.
        But is represents any digit with `n`, and some attributes that contain
        ids or keywords, are reduced to the value `x`.

        This information reduction helps to get a clear overview.

        It writes reports to the `reportPath`:

        *   `errors.txt`: validation errors
        *   `elements.txt`: element / attribute inventory.

        that walks through the source data and spits out actions that
        produces the TF dataset.

        The director function that walks through the TEI input must be conditioned
        by the properties defined in the TEI schema and the customised schema, if any,
        that describes the source.

        Also some special additions need to be programmed, such as an extra section
        level, word boundaries, etc.

        We collect all needed data, store it, and define a local director function
        that has access to this data.

        Returns
        -------
        function
            The local director function that has been constructed.

            Note that we only can have distinct templates if we deal with
            multiple files, so only when we are in section model I.

            ## Model I

            Chunks are the lowest section level (the higher levels are folders
            and then files)

            The default is that chunks are the immediate children of the
            `<teiHeader>` and the `<body>`
            elements; a few other elements also count as chunks.

            However, if `drillDownDivs` is True and if the chunk appears to be
            a `<div>` element, we drill further down, until we arrive at a
            non-`<div>` element.

            But in specific templates we have different rules:

            ### `bibliolist`:

            *   The TEI Header is a chunk, and nothing inside the TEI header is a chunk;
            *   Everything at level 5, except `<listBibl>` is a chunk;
            *   The children of `<listBibl>` are chunks (the `<bibl>` elements
                and a few others), provided they are at level 6.

            ### `artworklist`

            *   The TEI Header is a chunk, and nothing inside the TEI header is a chunk;
            *   Everything at level 5 is a chunk.

            ## Model II

            Chunks are the lowest section level (the only higher level is chapters).

            Chunks are the immediate children of the chapters, and they come in two
            kinds: the ones that are `<p>` elements, and the rest.

            Deviation from this rule:

            *   If a chapter is a mixed content node, then it is also a chunk.
                and its subelements are not chunks

Methods

def appTask(self, tokenBased=False)

Implementation of the "app" task.

It creates / updates a corpus-specific app plus specific documentation files. There should be a valid TF dataset in place, because some settings in the app derive from it.

It will also read custom additions that are present in the target app directory. These files are:

  • about_custom.md: A markdown file with specific colophon information about the dataset. In the generated file, this information will be put at the start.
  • transcription_custom.md: A markdown file with specific encoding information about the dataset. In the generated file, this information will be put at the start.
  • config_custom.yaml: A YAML file with configuration data that will be merged into the generated config.yaml.
  • app_custom.py: A python file with named snippets of code to be inserted at corresponding places in the generated app.py
  • display_custom.css: Additional CSS definitions that will be appended to the generated display.css.

If the TF app for this resource needs custom code, this is the way to retain that code between automatic generation of files.

Returns

boolean
Whether the operation was successful.
def browseTask(self)

Implementation of the "browse" task.

It gives a shell command to start the TF browser on the newly created corpus. There should be a valid TF dataset and app configuration in place

Returns

boolean
Whether the operation was successful.
def checkTask(self)

Implementation of the "check" task.

It validates the TEI, but only if a schema file has been passed explicitly when constructing the TEI object.

Then it makes an inventory of all elements and attributes in the TEI files.

If tags are used in multiple namespaces, it will be reported.

Conflation of namespaces

The TEI to TF conversion does construct node types and attributes without taking namespaces into account. However, the parsing process is namespace aware.

The inventory lists all elements and attributes, and many attribute values. But is represents any digit with n, and some attributes that contain ids or keywords, are reduced to the value x.

This information reduction helps to get a clear overview.

It writes reports to the reportPath:

  • errors.txt: validation errors
  • elements.txt: element / attribute inventory.
def convertTask(self)

Implementation of the "convert" task.

It sets up the tf.convert.walker machinery and runs it.

Returns

boolean
Whether the conversion was successful.
def getConverter(self)

Initializes a converter.

Returns

object
The CV converter object, initialized.
def getDirector(self)

Factory for the director function.

The tf.convert.walker relies on a corpus dependent director function that walks through the source data and spits out actions that produces the TF dataset.

The director function that walks through the TEI input must be conditioned by the properties defined in the TEI schema and the customised schema, if any, that describes the source.

Also some special additions need to be programmed, such as an extra section level, word boundaries, etc.

We collect all needed data, store it, and define a local director function that has access to this data.

Returns

function
The local director function that has been constructed.
def getParser(self)

Configure the LXML parser.

See parser options.

Returns

object
A configured LXML parse object.
def getSwitches(self, xmlPath)
def getXML(self)

Make an inventory of the TEI source files.

Returns

tuple of tuple | string

If section model I is in force:

The outer tuple has sorted entries corresponding to folders under the TEI input directory. Each such entry consists of the folder name and an inner tuple that contains the file names in that folder, sorted.

If section model II is in force:

It is the name of the single XML file.

def loadTask(self)

Implementation of the "load" task.

It loads the TF data that resides in the directory where the "convert" task deliver its results.

During loading there are additional checks. If they succeed, we have evidence that we have a valid TF dataset.

Also, during the first load intensive pre-computation of TF data takes place, the results of which will be cached in the invisible .tf directory there.

That makes the TF data ready to be loaded fast, next time it is needed.

Returns

boolean
Whether the loading was successful.
def readSchemas(self)
def task(self, check=False, convert=False, load=False, app=False, apptoken=False, browse=False, verbose=None, validate=None)

Carry out any task, possibly modified by any flag.

This is a higher level function that can execute a selection of tasks.

The tasks will be executed in a fixed order: check, convert, load, app, apptoken, browse. But you can select which one(s) must be executed.

If multiple tasks must be executed and one fails, the subsequent tasks will not be executed.

Parameters

check : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the check task.
convert : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the convert task.
load : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the load task.
app : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the app task.
apptoken : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the apptoken task.
browse : boolean, optional False
Whether to carry out the browse task"
verbose : integer, optional -1
Produce no (-1), some (0) or many (1) progress and reporting messages
validate : boolean, optional True
Whether to perform XML validation during the check task

Returns

boolean
Whether all tasks have executed successfully.
