# Data Science Ontology

[![Build Status](https://github.com/IBM/datascienceontology/workflows/Validate%20and%20publish/badge.svg)](https://github.com/IBM/datascienceontology/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Validate+and+publish%22) [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.1401676.svg)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1401676)

The [Data Science Ontology](https://www.datascienceontology.org/) is a knowledge
base about data science that aims to:

- catalog and formalize the concepts of data science
- semantically annotate popular software packages for data science
- power new AI assistants for data scientists

To learn more about the Data Science Ontology,
[start here](https://www.datascienceontology.org/help).

The Data Science Ontology is young but growing! We welcome contributions of 
concepts and annotations.

## Developer documentation

#### Getting started on your machine

Ensure `jq`, `pandoc-citeproc`, and `npm` are installed.

To install the JavaScript-based dependencies: `npm install`

To build the ontology into the `build` folder: `npm run build`

To validate the ontology after building: `npm run validate`

#### Uploading to a CouchDB database

The following steps assume using the [IBM Cloud free tier], but can be adjusted
to other CouchDB services.

1. [Create a Cloudant resource](https://cloud.ibm.com/catalog/services/cloudant).
2. On the Service Details page, choose **Launch Cloudant Dashboard**.
3. On the Databases page, choose **Create Database**.
4. Name your database `data-science-ontology`, choose **Non-partitioned** and
   choose **Create**.
5. On the Account page, under the Settings tab, copy the External Endpoint
   (preferred) value, and assign it to the `COUCH_URL` environment variable
   (note: do not use a trailing slash).
6. Use [IAM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam) to set up an API key and assign it
   to the `IAM_API_KEY` environment variable.
7. Run `npm run upload-couchdb`.

If you want to re-run step 7 after a new build, run `npm run clean-couchdb`
first. Note that this removes all non-design documents from your database.
