Fairspec Application

Checks a dataset descriptor against the Fairspec specification and verifies that every resource it references is consistent. Reports each violation with the exact location in the descriptor.

Scans a folder of data files and builds a complete dataset descriptor from what it finds, discovering tabular resources and inferring their schemas and dialects along the way.

Loads a tabular file and shows the first hundred rows alongside the table schema inferred from them, so you can inspect the contents and the detected structure side by side.

Checks tabular data against a table schema, optionally with an explicit file dialect. Groups the failures by error type so you can see at a glance which problems dominate.

Reads a tabular file and derives a table schema with field names, types, and constraints, analysing the values in each column to pick the most appropriate type.

Checks structured data against a data schema, flagging type mismatches, constraint violations, missing required values, and broken key relationships.

Derives a JSON Schema from a data sample, examining the structure and values to describe the types and constraints that the data actually satisfies.

Detects how a tabular file is formatted — delimiter, quote character, header row, line terminator, and encoding — by sampling its contents.

Verifies a file against an expected checksum, supporting md5, sha1, sha256, and sha512, so you can confirm that the bytes you received are the bytes that were published.
