Commands

The following commands are provided.

relaton concatenate

$ relaton concatenate Source-Directory Relaton-Collection-File -t TITLE -g ORGANIZATION

Iterates through all the Relaton files (YAML and XML) in Source-Directory, and concatenates them into a Relaton Collection file. The extension of the Collection file can be set using the Relaton-Collection-File file name (i.e, if it uses an extension of yaml, a Relaton YAML file will be created; if rxl, a Relaton XML file will be created, or via the -x [ext] (or --extension) option.

For each Relaton input file in the Source-Directory, if a document file with the same base name is identified (i.e. an XML, HTML, PDF or DOC file), a link to that file is inserted.

If the TITLE or ORGANIZATION options are given, they are added to the Collection-File output as the title and author of the Relaton-Collection-File document.

relaton split

$ relaton split Relaton-Collection-File Relaton-File-Directory -x rxl

Splits a Relaton-Collection-File into multiple files in the Relaton-File-Directory, and it also suports an additional -x or --extension options to use different extension.

relaton fetch

$ relaton fetch CODE -t TYPE -y YEAR

Fetch the Relaton XML entry corresponding to the document identifier CODE.

CODE should starts with one of the reconized prefixes. Prefix specifies the type of the document and the standard class library. Folloving prefixes are reconized:
- CN - Chinees GB standards
- IEC - International Electronical Commission
- RFC- Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
- ISO - International Organization for Standardization
- ITU - International Telecommunication Union
- NIST - National Institute of Standards and Technology
- OGC - Open Geospatial Consortium
- CC - Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium
- OMG - Object Management Group
- UN - United Nations
- W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
- IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- IHO - International Hydrographic Organization
- BIPM - Bureau Internationl des Poids at Mesures
- ECMA - European Computer Manufacturers Association
- CIE - International Commission on Illumination
- BSI, BS, PD - British Standards Institution
- CEN - European Committee for Standardization
YEAR is optional. Specifies the year of publication of the standard.
TYPE is optional. Specifies the standards class library to be used, that the identifier is part of. The recognised values for TYPE are: BIPM, BSI, CC (CalConnect), CEN, CIE, CN (Chinees GB standards), ECMA, IEC, IEEE, IETF, IHO, ISO, ITU, NIST, OGC, OMG, UN, W3C.

relaton extract

$ relaton extract Metanorma-XML-Directory Relaton-XML-Directory -x EXTENSION

Iterate through all the Metanorma XML files in Metanorma-XML-Directory, and extract the bibdata element from each. Save the bibdata element for each file to Relaton-XML-Directory, as the Relaton XML description for that file. If a document identifier is present in bibdata, it is used as the name of the file; otherwise, the original file name is used. The filename is suffixed with EXTENSION; by default, .rxl is used.

relaton xml2html

$ relaton xml2html <relaton-xml> [<stylesheet>] [<html-template-dir>]

Render a Relaton Collection XML as an HTML file. Used to generate an HTML index of standards.

relaton-xml is the Relaton Collection XML file.
stylesheet is the CSS stylesheet to be used to style the output. For the CSS styling of each bibliographic element, see below.
html-template-dir is a directory containing HTML Liquid Template files into which the bibliographic entries are to be inserted. There are two templates necessary:
- Index template (index.liquid)
  - The HTML Template file _index.liquid recognises the following parameters:
  - css: where the CSS stylesheet stylesheet is injected
  - title: the Title of the collection, ./relaton-collection/title in relaton-xml
  - author: the Author of the collection, ./relaton-collection/contributor[role/@type = 'author']/organization/name in relaton-xml
  - content: the list of resources generated by the script
- Individual bibliographic entries template (_document.liquid)
  - This template recognises attributes of a bibliographic entry (document) which follow the naming convention of Relaton YAML; e.g. document.html is the HTML URI for the document.

The default stylesheet and templates are given (which also demonstrates the structure) in the templates directory.

Sample HTML output for a bibliographic entry:

<div class="document">
  <div class="doc-line">
    <div class="doc-identifier">
      <h2>
        <a href="http://calconnect.org/pubdocs/CD0507%20CalDAV%20Use%20Cases%20V1.0.html">CC/R 3101</a>

relaton yaml2xml

$ relaton yaml2xml YAML -o OUTPUT-DIRECTORY -x RELATON_EXTENSION -p PREFIX -r LIBRARY

Convert a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml) into a Relaton XML file (filename.xml). If the Relaton YAML file specifies multiple bibliograph items, and OUTPUT-DIRECTORY is nominated, also convert the file into a list of Relaton XML files for each entry, stored in that directory. The document identifier is used as the name of each Relaton XML file; the Relaton XML filename is suffixed with RELATON_EXTENSION (default .rxl) and prefixed with PREFIX (default empty). Any libraries that need to be required for the conversion are specified in LIBRARY as a space-delimited list.

A Relaton Collection YAML file contains some initial metadata, and a list of metadata about each bibliographic entry:

root:
  author: The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium
  title: CalConnect Standards Registry
  items:
    - technical_committee: PUBLISH
      docid:
        type: CC
        id: CC 36000
      type: standard
      title:
        type: main
        content: Standardization documents -- Vocabulary
      docstatus:
        stage: proposal
      date:
        type: issued
        value:  2018-10-25
    - technical_committee: DATETIME
      docid:
        type: CC
        id: CC 34000
      type: standard
      title:
        type: main
        content: Date and time -- Concepts and vocabulary
      docstatus:
        stage: proposal
      date:
        type: issued
        value: 2018-10-25

A Relaton YAML file describing an individual bibliographic entry is limited to metadata specific to that entry. Flavor gems have additional fields. The Relaton YAML illustrates the common fields supported by all flavor gems.

relaton xml2yaml

$ relaton xml2yaml XML -o OUTPUT-DIRECTORY -x RELATON_EXTENSION -p PREFIX -r LIBRARY

Convert a Relaton XML file (filename.xml or filename.rxl) into a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml). If the Relaton XML file is a collection, and OUTPUT-DIRECTORY is nominated, also convert the file into a list of Relaton YAML files for each entry, stored in that directory. The document identifier is used as the name of each Relaton XML file; the Relaton XML filename is suffixed with RELATON_EXTENSION (default .yaml) and prefixed with PREFIX (default empty). Any libraries that need to be required for the conversion are specified in LIBRARY as a space-delimited list.

relaton yaml2html

$ relaton yaml2html YAML [<stylesheet>] [<liquid-template-dir>]

Render a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml) as an HTML file. The stylesheet and liquid-template-dir directories are as for relaton xml2html.
