Greeting everyone!
In the last week, the offline validator for spatial was completed as per the existing specification! The conflicts and errors (both semantic and syntactic) have been resolved to best of my knowledge, and the system seems to work as it should for the time being! In the complete process, I was able to bring many classes up to the latest specification and added (and fixed) some code in the SpatialParser as well.
The SpatialPoints class now extends AbstractSpatialNamedSBase to include the 'id' and 'name' attributes.
The issue with the SpatialParser where it was adding attributes to the UNKOWN_XML multiple times (duplicates) has been resolved. A processEndDocument() method has been added to handle missing SpatialReactionPlugin extension for the Reaction element.
Work has started on adding more rules by hand. Rather, the progress is good, and I am already in the process of implementing some additional rules. I figured out some rules by going through the specification and shared a Google Doc with my mentors. They helped me finalize the rules and give them a proper language. We started the numbering of the new rules from 50, example: 1220650 (In general, 12XXX50, 12XXX51 and so on). This was done to accommodate any future changes in the specification and the rules that the automatic generator would then produce. As of now, we have new rules for around 12 classes, with more to be added with time. Hopefully, the rules can be reflected in the upcoming draft of the spatial specification.
Since most of the work is already done, the updated from here on could be really slow. Further work requires some discussion and finalization of things before starting to implement them. Nevertheless, all the work can be seen on the GitHub repository itself.
I'll be posing the final report soon! :-D
Till next time,
Cheers!
