# Tree-Sitter grammar for SDML

A [tree-sitter](https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/) grammar for the Simple Domain Modeling Language (SDML). For more
information on the language, see the [documentation](https://sdml.io/).

## Example

```sdml
module campaign base <https://advertising.amazon.com/api-model> is

  import [dc skos xsd]

  @skos:prefLabel = "Campaign sub-domain"@en
  @skos:version = xsd:decimal(2)

  datatype Name <- xsd:string is
    @xsd:minLength = 5
    @xsd:maxLength = 25
  end

  datatype Identifier <- opaque xsd:string is
    @xsd:length = 20
  end

  property CampaignId -> Identifier is
    @skos:prefLabel = [
      "Campaign Identifier"@en
      "Identified de campagne"@fr
    ]
    @skos:description = "The globally unique identifier for a Campaign entity"@en
  end

  structure Tag is
    key -> xsd:NMTOKEN
    value -> {0..} rdfs:langStrings
  end

  entity Campaign is
    identity ref CampaignId

    name -> Name is
      @skos:definition = "the name of the campaign"@en
    end

    tag -> {0..} Tag

    target -> {1..} Target
  end

  entity Target

end
```

## Changes

### Version: 0.4.0

The primary aim of this release is to introduce a new definition type, a
*dimension*. This may be seen as a violation of SDML's goal of being technology or
implementation independent however it is a pragmatic decision based on usage
experience. Modeling the data managed by a business in terms of entities solves
many operational purposes but ignores a major purpose of this data -- reporting.

```sdml
module example is

  import [ sales stores xsd ]

  dimension Region is
    ;; define an identifier for this dimension
    identity region -> long

    ;; add members
    name -> string
  end
  
  dimension Location is
    ;; tightly bind this dimension to the Sale entity
    source sales:Sale

    ;; define a hierarchy by noting one or more parent dimensions
    parent region -> Region

    ;; reuse members from the source entity
    store from sales:Sale
    city from sales:Sale

    ;; add additional members not on the source entity
    state -> stores:State
    country -> stores:Country
  end

end
```

Detailed changes:

* Add `dimension_def` to the choice group in `definition`.
* Add new `dimension_def` with name and optional `dimension_body`.
* New `dimension_body` allows for *either* a source clause, or an identity clause.
* New `dimension_body` allows a set of `parent_dimension` clauses before a set of 
  `dimension_member` clauses.
* A `parent_dimension` is a simplified name to identifier reference member with
  the keyword `parent`.
* A `dimension_member` is either an existing `member_def`, `property_ref` or the new
  `member_from` clause that allows reuse of members from source entities.

**Breaking Change**: the grammar moves the `source` keyword and identifier reference
from the `event_def` rule to a new `event_body` rule. Old code, note that the source
clause was required even for empty events.

``` sdml
module example is

  entity Thing

  event NewThing source Thing

end
```

New code, now an empty event looks more like other empty definitions, and adding
a source clause requires `is` and `end`.

``` sdml
module example is

  entity Thing
  
  event Empty

  event NewThing is
    source Thing
  end

end

Additionally, this version of the grammar allows module's to rename imports,
both modules and members. This allows then client module to avoid always using
qualified names, and to use short, or more meaningful, names as appropriate.

``` sdml
module example is

  import rentals_billing as billing

  import billing:Invoice as Invoice

end
```

### Version: 0.3.4

* Fix missing `byte` nodes in grammar for binary literals.

### Version: 0.3.3

- Build: update version of dependent packages `cc` and `tree-sitter`.

### Version: 0.3.2

- Feature: change `module`'s *well-formedness rules* to disallow the definitions
  `rdf_def` and `type_class_def` be added to a non-library module.
- Feature: remove the rule `feature_reference` entirely, and it's reference in
  rule `type_reference`.

``` js
type_reference: $ => choice(
    $.unknown_type,
    $.identifier_reference,
    $.builtin_simple_type,
    $.mapping_type
),

```

### Version: 0.3.1

### Version: 0.3.0

* Feature: simplified property definitions.
  * Removed notion of role, a `property_def` is singular.
  * Removed "in" keyword, `property_ref` uses "ref".
  * Removed inverse names.

```js
property_def: $ => seq(
    keyword('property'),
    $.member_def
),
```

* Feature: unified single definition of `member`.
  * Changed member, is now *either* `property_ref` or `member_def`.
  * Changed `property_def` to simply be `member_def`.
  * Changed `entity_identity` to be `member`.
  * Expect to add warning for unbounded cardinality for entity identities.

```js
entity_identity: $ => seq(
    keyword('identity'),
    $.member
),

member: $ => choice(
    $.member_def,
    $.property_ref,             
),

member_def: $ => seq(
    field('name', $.identifier),
    $._type_expression_to,
    optional(field('body', $.annotation_only_body))               
),

property_ref: $ => seq(
    keyword('ref'),
    field('property', $.identifier_reference),
),
```

This release is primarily to implement *type classes* that allow a better
description of the standard library for constraints. Adding this support
identified some simplifications in functional terms and sequence builders.

``` sdml
module example is
  class Typed(T) is
    def has_type(v -> T) → Type is
      @skos:definition = "Returns the SDML type of the passed value."@en

  * The grammar rule `constraint` has been added.
  * A new grammar rule named `annotation` is defined as a choice of
    `annotation_property` or `constraint`.
  * This allows the use of the old rule to be subsumed by the new definition.

* Docs: more documentation added on the RDF mapping and the domain modeling
  process.

``` sdml
module example is

    import tag

    structure Thing is
    
      inner -> {0..} InnerThing is
        ;; informal
        assert same_tags = "All inner tags contain a tag value \"This\"."
        ;; formal
        assert same_tags_formal is
          forall self ( not_empty(self) and contains(self.tags "This") )
        end
      end
      
    end
    
    structure InnerThing is
      tags -> {0..} tag:Tag
    end
    
end
```

### Version: 0.1.17

* Fixed: highlighting for properties.

### Version: 0.1.16

* Feature: Adjusted property grammar.
* Docs: Started on property documentation.

``` sdml
module ddict is
  import account
  
  property accountId is
    @skos:prefLabel = "accountId"@en
    @skos:altLabel = "account_id"@en
    
    identifier -> {1} account:AccountId is
      @skos:definition = "Used as an identifier for account-scoped things"@en
    end
    
    reference ref {1} -> {1} account:AccountId
  end
  
  structure Account is
    accountId as identifier
    name -> string
  end

end
```

### Version: 0.1.15

* Feature: Added new structure to the grammar to allow data-dictionary style
  reusable property definitions.

``` sdml
module ddict is
  import account
  
  property accountId -> account:AccountId is
    @skos:prefLabel = "accountId"@en
    @skos:altLabel = "account_id"@en
    
    identifier is
      @skos:definition = "Used as ..."@en
    end
    
    default = {1..1}
  end
  
  structure Account is
    accountId as default
    name -> string
  end

end

```

### Version: 0.1.14

* Added new rule named `builtin_simple_type` (choice of `string`, `double`, `decimal`,
  `integer`, `boolean`, and `iri`):
  * replaced `identifier_reference` with new rule `data_type_base` for `data_type_def`,
  * added to the `type_reference` choice used for the member `target` field.
  
Allows both:

``` sdml
module example is

  datatype mystring <- string
  
  structure Person is
    name -> string
    age -> integer
  end
end
```

Where the keywords `string` and `integer` will be expanded into the qualified
identifiers `sdml:string` and `sdml:integer` respectively.

### Version: 0.1.13

* Added explicit `base` grammar for module rather than using `xml:base` as an
  attribute.
* Expanded grammar for `Identifier` to allow decimal digits in any position *after*
  the first.
* Clarified the grammar for `TypeVariant`.

Introduces:

```sdml
module example base <https://example.org/v/example> is
end
```

Which replaces the annotation form:

```sdml
module example is
  import xml
  
  @xml:base = <https://example.org/v/example>
end
```

### Version: 0.1.12

- Fixed highlight issue for annotations with `IdentifierReference` values
- Added field for `TypeVariant` name

### Version: 0.1.11

* Added a rename to optional value to `TypeVariant`
* Fixed `annotation` and `language_tag` grammar rule conflict

Introduces:

```sdml
module example is

  union Example is
    Variant1
    Variant1 as Alternative
  end
end
```

This allows the use of the same type as a variant more than once if the new
identifier is unique within the same `union`.

### Version: 0.1.10

* Cleaned up queries.

### Version: 0.1.9

* Simplified the disjoint `UnionDef` type.

### Version: 0.1.8

* Added a disjoint `UnionDef` type.

### Version: 0.1.7

* Made field name `sourceCardinality` into `source_cardinality`.
* Made field name `targetCardinality` into `target_cardinality`.
* Added versioning annotations

### Version: 0.1.6

* Made `_simple_value` into `simple_value` named rule.
* Made `_type_reference` into `type_reference` named rule.
