public interface CortexLinter

Validates RDF assertions against the ontology before they are ingested.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
LintResult	lint(String ttl)	Lints the given assertions against the ontology.

Method Details

lint

LintResult lint(String ttl)

Lints the given assertions against the ontology.

Every property used must be declared in the ontology, and every rdf:type object must be a class declared in the ontology. The only terms permitted beyond the ontology are rdf:type, rdfs:label, and rdfs:comment.

ingest performs this same lint check internally — and the subsequent SHACL validation, which this method does not — so calling this first is not required for correctness; it exists to let a caller (an AI agent, in particular) catch and fix ontology violations before attempting a full ingestion. Note that ingest re-parses the caller's original Turtle rather than consuming the validated Turtle this returns, so passing anything other than that exact string to ingest afterward is equally valid.

Parameters:

ttl - RDF assertions in Turtle syntax

Returns:

the outcome, carrying either the validated assertions in Turtle syntax or the lint violations
