## 🚀 Installation

### Requirements
- Python 3.11+ (recommended: Python 3.13)

### Install from PyPI

```bash
pip install rdfmap
```

### Development Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rdfmap/rdfmap.git
cd rdfmap

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install in development mode
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Quick Start

### 1. 🆕 Use the Interactive Wizard (Easiest!)

```bash
# Let the wizard guide you through configuration
rdfmap init

# Answer simple questions:
#   - Where's your data file?
#   - Where's your ontology?
#   - What's your target class?
#   - What's your priority (speed/memory/quality)?

# Then generate and convert!
rdfmap generate --config mapping_config.yaml
rdfmap convert --mapping mapping_config.yaml
```

### 2. Run the Mortgage Example

```bash
# Convert mortgage loans data to RDF with validation
rdfmap convert \
  --ontology examples/mortgage/ontology/mortgage.ttl \
  --mapping examples/mortgage/config/mortgage_mapping.yaml \
  --format ttl \
  --output output/mortgage.ttl \
  --validate \
  --report output/validation_report.json

# Dry run with first 10 rows
rdfmap convert \
  --mapping examples/mortgage/config/mortgage_mapping.yaml \
  --limit 10 \
  --validate \
  --dry-run

# 🆕 Or auto-generate mapping from ontology + spreadsheet
rdfmap generate \
  --ontology examples/mortgage/ontology/mortgage.ttl \
  --spreadsheet examples/mortgage/data/loans.csv \
  --output auto_mapping.yaml \
  --export-schema
```

### 3. Understanding the Mortgage Example

The example converts loan data with this structure:

**Input CSV** (`examples/mortgage/data/loans.csv`):
```csv
LoanID,BorrowerID,BorrowerName,PropertyID,PropertyAddress,Principal,InterestRate,OriginationDate
L-1001,B-9001,Alex Morgan,P-7001,12 Oak St,250000,0.0525,2023-06-15
```

**Mapping Config** (`examples/mortgage/config/mortgage_mapping.yaml`):
- Maps `LoanID` → `ex:loanNumber`
- Creates linked resources for Borrower and Property
- Applies proper XSD datatypes
- Constructs IRIs using templates

**Output RDF** (Turtle):
```turtle
<https://data.example.com/loan/L-1001> a ex:MortgageLoan ;
  ex:loanNumber "L-1001"^^xsd:string ;
  ex:principalAmount "250000"^^xsd:decimal ;
  ex:hasBorrower <https://data.example.com/borrower/B-9001> ;
  ex:collateralProperty <https://data.example.com/property/P-7001> .
```

- `{base_iri}{EntityType}/{ID}` → Combine multiple columns

## CLI Reference

### Commands

#### `convert`

Convert spreadsheet data to RDF.

```bash
rdfmap convert [OPTIONS]
```

**Options:**

- `--ontology PATH`: Path to ontology file (supports TTL, RDF/XML, JSON-LD, N-Triples, etc.)
- `--mapping PATH`: Path to mapping configuration (YAML/JSON) [required]
- `--format, -f TEXT`: Output format: ttl, xml, jsonld, nt (default: ttl)
- `--output, -o FILE`: Output file path
- `--validate`: Run SHACL validation after conversion
- `--report PATH`: Write validation report to file (JSON)
- `--limit N`: Process only first N rows (for testing)
- `--dry-run`: Parse and validate without writing output
- `--verbose, -v`: Enable detailed logging
- `--log PATH`: Write log to file

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic conversion to Turtle
rdfmap convert --mapping config.yaml --format ttl --output output.ttl

# With ontology validation and SHACL validation
rdfmap convert \
  --mapping config.yaml \
  --ontology ontology.ttl \
  --format jsonld \
  --output output.jsonld \
  --validate \
  --report validation.json

# Test with limited rows
rdfmap convert --mapping config.yaml --limit 100 --dry-run --verbose
```

#### `generate`

**NEW**: Automatically generate mapping configuration from ontology and spreadsheet.

```bash
rdfmap generate [OPTIONS]
```

**Options:**

- `--ontology, -ont PATH`: Path to ontology file (TTL, RDF/XML, etc.) [required]
- `--spreadsheet, -s PATH`: Path to spreadsheet file (CSV/XLSX) [required]
- `--output, -o PATH`: Output path for generated mapping config [required]
- `--base-iri, -b TEXT`: Base IRI for resources (default: http://example.org/)

# Specify target class and export JSON Schema
rdfmap generate \
  -ont ontology.ttl \
  -s data.csv \
  -o mapping.yaml \
  --class MortgageLoan \
  --export-schema

# Analyze only (no generation)
rdfmap generate \
  --ontology ontology.ttl \
  --spreadsheet data.csv \
  --output mapping.yaml \
  --analyze-only
```

**What it does:**
- Analyzes ontology classes and properties
- Examines spreadsheet columns and data types
- Intelligently matches columns to properties
- Suggests appropriate XSD datatypes

### Key Design Principles

1. **Configuration-Driven**: All mappings declarative in YAML/JSON
2. **Modular**: Clear separation between parsing, transformation, and emission
3. **Deterministic**: Same input always produces same IRIs (idempotency)
4. **Extensible**: Easy to add new transforms, datatypes, or ontology patterns
5. **Robust**: Comprehensive error handling with row-level tracking

## Extending the Application

### Adding Custom Transforms

Edit `rdfmap/transforms/functions.py`:

```python
@register_transform("custom_transform")
def custom_transform(value: Any, **kwargs) -> Any:
    """Your custom transformation logic."""
    return transformed_value
```

### Supporting New Ontology Patterns

1. Update mapping schema in `rdfmap/models/mapping.py` if needed
2. Implement pattern handler in `rdfmap/emitter/graph_builder.py`
3. Add test cases in `tests/test_patterns.py`

### Adding New Output Formats

Extend `rdfmap/emitter/serializer.py`:

```python
def serialize(graph: Graph, format: str, output_path: Path):
    if format == "your_format":
        # Custom serialization logic
        pass
```

## Testing

```bash
# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=rdfmap --cov-report=html

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_transforms.py

# Run mortgage example test
pytest tests/test_mortgage_example.py -v
```

## Error Handling

The application provides detailed error reporting:

### Row-Level Errors

```json
{
  "row": 42,
  "error": "Invalid datatype for column 'Principal': cannot convert 'N/A' to xsd:decimal",
  "severity": "error"
}
```

### Validation Reports

```json
{
  "conforms": false,
  "results": [
    {
      "focusNode": "https://data.example.com/loan/L-1001",
      "resultPath": "ex:principalAmount",
      "resultMessage": "Value must be greater than 0"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Performance Tips

1. **Large Files**: The application automatically streams data for files >10MB
2. **Chunking**: Process in batches using `--limit` and multiple runs
3. **Validation**: Skip validation during development (`--validate` only for final runs)
4. **Dry Runs**: Test mappings with `--limit 100 --dry-run` before full processing

## Troubleshooting

### "Column not found" errors
- Check CSV column names match mapping config exactly (case-sensitive)
- Verify CSV delimiter matches config (`delimiter: ","`)

### Invalid IRIs
- Ensure IRI template variables match column names exactly
- Check that base_iri ends with `/` or `#`

### Datatype conversion errors
- Review data for unexpected values (nulls, text in numeric fields)
- Use `transform` to normalize before typing
- Set `skip_empty_values: true` to ignore nulls

### SHACL validation failures
- Review validation report for specific violations
- Ensure ontology and shapes are compatible
- Check that required properties are mapped
