Lexical masks in JSON
We have released lexical masks as ShEx files before, schemata for lexicographic forms that can be used to validate whether the data is complete.
We saw that it was quite challenging to turn these ShEx files into forms for entering the data, such as Lucas Werkmeister’s Lexeme Forms. So we adapted our approach slightly to publish JSON files that keep the structures in an easier to parse and understand format, and to also provide a script that translates these JSON files into ShEx Entity Schemas.
Furthermore, we published more masks for more languages and parts of speech than before.
