Frictionless Data November 2020 Virtual Hangout
# A recap from our November community call
This time around, we were offered a fantastic presentation by Costas Simatos, the team leader of the ISA2 Interoperability Test Bed Action (opens new window) at the European Commission! He revealed some powerful tools to validate data against specifications, including the following:
- A Table Schema validator (opens new window), sharing a news article (opens new window) about it;
- More validators to work with XML (opens new window), RDF (opens new window), JSON (opens new window) and CSV (opens new window) (based on a fork of tableschema-java (opens new window)) as well as a custom CSV validator (opens new window) built for Kohesio (opens new window), the “Project Information Portal for Cohesion Policy”;
- A feature-rich conformance testing platform (opens new window).
If you would like to dive deeper and watch Costas’ presentation, here it is:
