blog update about my semantic flow cli

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share some updates about the Semantic Flow CLI I've been working on! This command-line tool is designed to make life easier for those managing RDF-based datasets and static sites with the Semantic Flow framework. Here's a quick rundown of what the CLI can do and where it's headed:

Key Features Under Development:

  1. Namespace Management: The CLI allows you to easily add, update, and manage RDF namespaces. This means you can create namespaces in your Semantic Flow repository with just a single command, streamlining the whole process.

  2. Dataset Series Handling: Managing versioned datasets and dataset series is at the heart of Semantic Flow, and the CLI is being designed to automate these version bumps across the board. When changes are made, you can update the corresponding catalogs automatically—no need to dig through multiple files or manually track changes.

  3. Template Integration: The CLI supports applying templates from the ‘templates’ folder in a consistent manner across all generated RDF resources. If you want a unified look or consistent metadata across your generated static site, this feature will take care of it.

Tech Stack: I'm building the CLI using Deno, which has been a great experience so far, especially with TypeScript support out of the box. Deno's security model and easy module imports have been a big plus. I'm also using Cliffy for handling the interactive aspects of the CLI—it's helping make the user experience smooth and efficient.

Challenges: One of the more interesting challenges I'm working through is the need for both stability and flexibility in version management. There’s a balance to be found between keeping track of everything as it evolves, but also providing 'current' and 'next' indicators that make it easy for developers to know which version they should be using.

What's Next?

  • I plan to expand support for SFRootRepo management, allowing users to easily configure new root repositories for their Semantic Flow sites.
  • I'm looking at ways to better handle cross-repo references so that multiple repositories can contribute individuals and datasets in a unified namespace without chaos.

If you’re interested in following along or contributing, I’d love to hear your feedback. I’m aiming to get a beta version out soon, and your thoughts could really help shape how it develops.
