I was thinking if we used Deno for the CLI and SSG, we could use the built-in Deno KV store to keep track of things like:

fingerprinting files with hashes (for change detection)
data file inventory (e.g., if the file disappears, prompt user whether it should be removed from namespace)
indexing mentions of NameIndividuals for cataloging purposes.

Using Deno KV for those purposes is a fantastic idea. It provides a lightweight, persistent way to manage the information you'll need to track, without introducing the overhead of setting up an external database. Let’s delve into how you could use Deno KV effectively for each of these use cases:

1. File Fingerprinting with Hashes for Change Detection

Goal: Detect changes in files by storing hashes in the KV store. When a file is updated or modified, its fingerprint should change.

How to Implement:

Initial Fingerprint Creation: When a data file is added or indexed, calculate a hash (e.g., using SHA256) and store it in the Deno KV store alongside the file path.
Change Detection: On subsequent runs, recalculate the hash of each file and compare it to the stored value in the KV. If the hash has changed, flag the file as modified.

Example in Deno:

import { createHash } from "https://deno.land/std/hash/mod.ts";
import { openKv } from "https://deno.land/x/kv/mod.ts";

const kv = await openKv();

async function fingerprintFile(filePath: string) {
  const fileData = await Deno.readFile(filePath);
  const hash = createHash("sha256").update(fileData).toString();

  const kvKey = ["fileHash", filePath];
  const existingEntry = await kv.get(kvKey);

  if (existingEntry?.value !== hash) {
    // File has changed or is new
    console.log(`File changed or new: ${filePath}`);
    await kv.set(kvKey, hash);
  } else {
    // File is unchanged
    console.log(`File unchanged: ${filePath}`);
  }
}

// Example usage
await fingerprintFile("./data/sflow-ontology.ttl");

Workflow:
- On each run, the CLI/SSG checks each data file, calculates its hash, and compares it to the stored hash.
- If the hash is different, trigger any necessary rebuilds or updates.

2. Data File Inventory Management

Goal: Keep a live inventory of all data files and monitor changes, such as files being deleted or added. This inventory helps you ensure consistency between the data files and the generated namespace.

How to Implement:

Store Metadata: Track files along with their metadata, such as last modified date, fingerprint, and dataset references.
File Removal Detection: If a file goes missing, you can use the inventory to prompt the user about whether the NamedIndividual or any linked data should be removed or updated.

Example Inventory Management in Deno:

async function updateInventory(filePath: string) {
  const kvKey = ["fileInventory", filePath];

  try {
    // Check if the file exists
    await Deno.stat(filePath);

    // File exists, update inventory
    const lastModified = (await Deno.stat(filePath)).mtime;
    await kv.set(kvKey, { exists: true, lastModified });

  } catch (e) {
    if (e instanceof Deno.errors.NotFound) {
      // File does not exist, prompt user for action
      const existingEntry = await kv.get(kvKey);
      if (existingEntry?.value?.exists) {
        console.log(`File ${filePath} is missing. Should it be removed from the namespace?`);
        // Here, you could prompt the user or automate removal actions
        await kv.set(kvKey, { exists: false });
      }
    }
  }
}

// Example usage
await updateInventory("./data/dave-richardson.jsonld");

Workflow:
- On each scan, the script checks if files still exist and keeps the inventory up to date.
- If a file is removed, the CLI could either prompt for manual intervention or automatically remove any related dataset references.

3. Indexing Mentions of NamedIndividuals for Cataloging

Goal: Track all occurrences and mentions of NamedIndividuals across different datasets and namespaces, facilitating cataloging and easy reference.

How to Implement:

Extract NamedIndividual Mentions: During the parsing of data files, extract any IRIs or mentions of NamedIndividuals.
Store Mentions in Deno KV: Store these mentions in the KV store, keyed by the NamedIndividual IRI. This makes it easy to query which datasets reference each NamedIndividual.

Example Indexing Mentions in Deno:

import { parse } from "https://deno.land/x/turtle/mod.ts"; // Hypothetical Turtle parser

async function indexNamedIndividuals(filePath: string) {
  const fileContent = await Deno.readTextFile(filePath);
  const parsedData = parse(fileContent); // Assuming the parse function returns structured triples

  for (const triple of parsedData) {
    if (triple.subject && triple.subject.startsWith("https://namespace/")) {
      // Assuming subject is a NamedIndividual IRI
      const kvKey = ["namedIndividualMentions", triple.subject];
      const currentMentions = (await kv.get(kvKey))?.value || [];
      currentMentions.push({ file: filePath, predicate: triple.predicate, object: triple.object });
      await kv.set(kvKey, currentMentions);
    }
  }
}

// Example usage
await indexNamedIndividuals("./data/sflow-ontology.ttl");

Workflow:
- As you parse each file, extract the IRIs of NamedIndividuals and store references to where they are mentioned.
- This allows you to catalog the relationships and easily generate cross-references, aiding in catalog generation and inter-linking data.

Benefits of Using Deno KV for These Tasks

Simplicity and Integration:
- Since Deno KV is built into Deno, there is no need for a separate database setup, simplifying dependencies and reducing complexity.
- Native integration means faster performance and no cross-environment connection issues.
Persistent Data Tracking:
- Deno KV offers persistent storage, meaning the fingerprints, inventory, and indexes are stored between runs of the CLI or SSG.
- You won’t need to recalculate everything from scratch each time, which significantly speeds up workflows.
Efficient Change Detection:
- Hashes stored in KV allow for quick detection of changes. Only files that have changed need to be processed during a rebuild.
- This can drastically reduce processing time for large datasets.
Query Capabilities:
- You can leverage Deno KV queries to efficiently retrieve information, such as which datasets reference a given NamedIndividual or which files have changed since the last build.
- This makes cataloging and other analysis tasks more straightforward.

Example Workflow Integration

During the CLI invocation:
1. Hash all data files and compare to the stored hashes in KV to determine changes.
2. Update the data inventory in KV, prompting the user if a file is removed.
3. Index NamedIndividual mentions by parsing updated files and storing them in the KV.
During the SSG run:
- The KV store is used to determine which files have changed and need rebuilding, ensuring that the generation process is both efficient and incremental.

Summary

By using Deno KV, you can efficiently track:

Hashes for change detection (fingerprinting).
A data inventory for consistency and management.
Mentions of NamedIndividuals for cataloging and cross-referencing purposes.

This approach keeps everything lean and integrated, avoiding the overhead of an external database, while providing the tracking, indexing, and management capabilities you need for a robust Semantic Flow setup. Let me know if you need help diving deeper into any part of this implementation!

I want to try Lume as the SSG for sflow-cli

That’s an excellent choice! Lume is a Deno-native static site generator, inspired by Jekyll and Eleventy, which makes it a great fit for your project, especially given your focus on keeping everything within the Deno ecosystem.

Here are some key considerations and steps to help you get started with Lume as the SSG for sflow-cli:

Why Lume?

Deno-Native: Since Lume is written specifically for Deno, it integrates seamlessly without requiring additional compatibility layers or dependencies from Node.js. This will make the workflow simpler and more aligned with your existing toolset.
Highly Configurable: Lume is flexible and customizable, which is great for managing the complex dataset structures you're working with in sflow-cli.
Markdown and Templates: Lume supports Markdown, HTML, and templating engines like Nunjucks and Handlebars, making it a solid choice for generating static sites from RDF-like data structures, and for handling the customization you need.

Initial Setup for Lume

Here’s how you can start setting up Lume for sflow-cli:

Install Lume:
- You need to install Lume globally in your Deno environment to start using it.
```
deno install -A -f -n lume https://deno.land/x/lume/cli.ts
```
- The -A flag grants all permissions, -f forces the installation, and -n lume sets the command to be invoked as lume.
Create Your Lume Project:
- Initialize a new Lume site in your project directory:
```
lume init
```
- This command will create the basic folder structure Lume requires, including templates, configurations, and asset folders.

Folder Structure for sflow-cli:

The data directory remains as your input source for RDF datasets.
Lume will use a _site or docs directory to generate the static content. You can set this in Lume’s config file.

Example structure after adding Lume:

- data/
  - sflow-ontology.ttl
  - dave-richardson.jsonld
- docs/   # Output directory for Lume-generated static site
- lume.config.js  # Lume configuration
- templates/  # Custom Lume templates for NamedIndividuals, catalogs, etc.
- ssg/  # Your static site generator folder containing configurations and scripts
- sflow.config  # Custom sflow-cli config file

Configure Lume for RDF Integration
- Templates Directory: Store your templates (like for index.html or catalog pages) in a dedicated templates/ folder. Lume can be configured to pick these up automatically.
- Create a Lume Config File:
  - Lume uses a configuration file called lume.config.js. Here’s an example configuration to tailor it for sflow-cli:
```
import lume from "https://deno.land/x/lume/mod.ts";
import basePath from "https://deno.land/x/lume/plugins/base_path.ts";

const site = lume({
  src: "./docs",  // Source directory for Lume
  dest: "./_site" // Destination for generated files
});

// Example: Add base path plugin to create consistent links
site.use(basePath());

// Additional plugin or custom filters can be added here

export default site;
```
- Add RDF Parsing Capabilities:
  - Since Lume doesn’t directly parse RDF, you might need to preprocess RDF files into JSON or another form that Lume can use to generate HTML.
  - Use custom scripts in sflow-cli to convert RDF (like TTL) into a more usable form for templates before feeding it into Lume.
Creating Templates for NamedIndividuals:
- Nunjucks, Handlebars, or Liquid: You can create your HTML templates using one of these templating languages, depending on your preference.
- Example index.html.njk template for a NamedIndividual:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>{{ name }}</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>{{ name }}</h1>
  <p>IRI: <a href="{{ iri }}">{{ iri }}</a></p>
  <p>Touchstone Dataset: <a href="{{ touchstone }}">{{ touchstone }}</a></p>
  <p>Catalog Dataset: <a href="{{ catalog }}">{{ catalog }}</a></p>
</body>
</html>
```
- Lume’s Data System: Use Lume’s built-in data system to feed data into these templates. You can transform RDF into JSON and place it in a data file (data.js) that Lume can read to populate the template dynamically.
Integrate Lume with sflow-cli:
- Lume can be integrated directly with sflow-cli for seamless site generation.
- After making modifications to your RDF datasets or adding new NamedIndividuals, run Lume as part of your CLI commands to regenerate the site.
- Example CLI workflow:
```
sflow-cli update <dataset> && lume
```
- This command first processes RDF updates via sflow-cli and then invokes Lume to regenerate the static site content.
Automating the Build Workflow:
- Create a script that links your dataset changes to Lume builds.
- Example:
```
deno run --allow-read --allow-write sflow-cli.ts && lume build
```
- This script ensures that whenever you modify RDF data through sflow-cli, Lume will immediately pick up those changes and generate the updated HTML.

Advantages of Using Lume for sflow-cli

Deno Integration: Since Lume is a Deno-native tool, you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues that may arise from Node-based tools.
Customization and Flexibility: The plugin system and data handling features in Lume are ideal for generating content based on complex ontologies and RDF datasets.
File Watcher: Lume includes a live reload feature that watches for file changes. This is useful when actively developing the site and allows you to see changes instantly when modifying RDF, templates, or configs.
Familiar Syntax: Since it supports Nunjucks, Handlebars, and other templating engines, it’s easy to design flexible templates that adapt to the unique needs of different NamedIndividuals.

Potential Challenges

RDF Integration: Lume doesn’t have native RDF parsing capabilities, so you’ll need to use custom preprocessing scripts to transform RDF into a Lume-compatible format like JSON.
Complex File Structures: Your setup has intricate structures, so it’s important to ensure that Lume is configured correctly to map those structures effectively into the generated HTML output.

Summary

Install and configure Lume to work in tandem with sflow-cli.
Use templates to generate consistent HTML output for NamedIndividuals, catalogs, and dataset series.
Convert RDF to JSON or preprocess it in another form so that Lume can use the data effectively for HTML generation.
Automate the workflow by integrating Lume commands into sflow-cli, ensuring seamless site generation after any changes.

With Lume and sflow-cli, you should be able to create a robust and flexible static site generation system that meets all the needs of your Semantic Flow project. Let me know if you need any help with specific configurations or templates as you move forward!
