Mat Corbett developed a SHACL validation framework for JSON-LD metadata in the British-Oceanographic-Data-Centre/amrit-repos repository, focusing on improving data quality and governance. He designed example SHACL shapes and sample data files to define and illustrate metadata conformance requirements, and implemented a Python script to automate validation and enforce structural standards. Leveraging skills in Python scripting, RDF, and data validation, Mat established an early validation gate for metadata, reducing downstream data-quality issues and accelerating QA cycles. His work laid the foundation for automated metadata validation, providing reusable components to support future data schemas and repository-level documentation within the project.

March 2025: Delivered a new data quality capability by introducing a SHACL validation framework for JSON-LD metadata in the amrit-repos project. This work provides an early validation gate for metadata structure and content, enabling consistent data governance and reducing downstream data-quality issues. Key deliverables include example SHACL shapes, sample data files, and a Python script to perform validation and enforce conformance to defined requirements. There were no major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on feature delivery and laying groundwork for automated QA. Impact: improves metadata quality, accelerates QA cycles, and provides reusable validation components for future data schemas. Technologies/skills demonstrated: SHACL, JSON-LD, Python scripting, data validation patterns, and repository-level documentation.
