pprl-model 0.1.2

Description:

pprlmodel 0.1.2

This package contains model classes that are used in the PPRL service for validation purposes.
They have been conceived with the idea of an HTTP-based service for record linkage based on Bloom filters in mind.
It encompasses models for the service's data transformation, masking and bit vector matching routines.
Pydantic is used for validation, serialization and deserialization.
This package is rarely to be used directly.
Instead, it is used by other packages to power their functionalities.
Data models
Models for entity pre-processing, masking and bit vector matching are exposed through this package.
The following examples are taken from the test suites of the
PPRL service package and show additional
validation steps in addition to the ones native to Pydantic.
Entity transformation
from pprl_model import EntityTransformRequest, TransformConfig, EmptyValueHandling, AttributeValueEntity, \
AttributeTransformerConfig, NumberTransformer, GlobalTransformerConfig, NormalizationTransformer, \
CharacterFilterTransformer

# This is a valid config.
_ = EntityTransformRequest(
config=TransformConfig(empty_value=EmptyValueHandling.ignore),
entities=[
AttributeValueEntity(
id="001",
attributes={
"bar1": " 12.345 ",
"bar2": " 12.345 "
}
)
],
attribute_transformers=[
AttributeTransformerConfig(
attribute_name="bar1",
transformers=[
NumberTransformer(decimal_places=2)

NormalizationTransformer()
