As a developer of a tool that generates RO-Crates, I want to validate the created RO-Crates as part of my test suite

[elichad]

Useful for testing if RO-Crates generated by third-party tools are valid - e.g. a Workflow Run Crate generated by Galaxy or snakemake.

Likely to take the form of a command-line tool

• Evaluate rocrate-validator
• Implement it in the test suite for galaxy or cwlrunner
• Document somehow (e.g. by example) the approach to take

With pytest or github action examples

Next task here is for Oliver to evaluate rocrate-validator.

Oliver is starting to develop in Galaxy, and will plug in the validator.

rocrate-validator programmatic use needs to be improved to be used for testing and in Cratey-validator. See crs4/rocrate-validator#40

A PR has been raised. We will take a look at this.

This is on hold, because we are waiting for RunCrate to work with Galaxy, so that we can get usable provenance from Galaxy. Current RO-Crate output from Galaxy does not pass validation, so we want to replace it.
