 # DACSspace
 
-A simple Python script to evaluate your ArchivesSpace instance for DACS [single-level minimum](http://www2.archivists.org/standards/DACS/part_I/chapter_1) required elements.
+A Python package to evaluate your ArchivesSpace instance for DACS [single-level required](https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/06_part_I/02_chapter_01.html#single-level-required) elements.
 
-DACSspace utilizes the ArchivesSpace API to check resources for DACS compliance and produces a csv containing a list of evaluated resources. If a DACS field is present its content will be written to the csv, if a field is missing the csv will read "FALSE" for that item.
+DACSspace utilizes the ArchivesSpace API and a default JSON schema to validate resources. The output is a CSV containing a list of invalid URIs with the following fields: validation status, error count, and explanation.
+
+DACSspace also allows users to specify a schema to validate against other than the default DACS single-level required schema, see [Usage](https://github.com/RockefellerArchiveCenter/DACSspace#usage) section for more information.

 ## Usage
 
-Using the command line navigate to the directory containing the DACSspace repository and run `single-level.py` to execute the script.
+DACSspace can be used as a command line utility to evaluate your ArchivesSpace repository for DACS compliance, and it can also be used as part of another Python program.
+
+Required arguments:
+- `csv_filepath`
+
+Use this argument to set the filepath to the CSV file where the output of DACSspace will print. Your CSV filepath must have a .csv extension and cannot contain the following characters: * ? : " < > | '
+
+Optional arguments:
+- `--published_only`
+- `--invalid_only`
+- `--schema_identifier`
+- `--schema_filepath`
+
+For use cases on how these optional arguments can be employed, look under the next section, Running DACSspace from the command line.
+
+### Running DACSspace from the command line
+
+In the command line, run `dacsspace`. You also need to pass in the `csv_filepath` argument with the name of your CSV filepath in order to run the script (see [above]((https://github.com/RockefellerArchiveCenter/DACSspace#usage))).
+
+You can use the different DACSspace optional arguments to decide what data DACSspace will fetch, what data it will report out on, and what schema it will validate the data against.
+
+#### What data to fetch
+
+If you plan to only evaluate DACS compliance on resources in your ArchivesSpace repository that are published, pass in the argument `--published_only` into the command line. This tells the DACSspace client class to only fetch data from published resources.
+
+#### What data to report on
+
+If you want to limit your CSV file to contain information on resources that do not meet DACS compliance, pass in the argument `--invalid_only` into the command line. This tells the DACSspace reporter class to only write information on invalid results of the validation to your CSV file.
+
+The output to your CSV will include the following field names:
+- uri: The ArchivesSpace object's unique identifier (ex. /repositories/2/resources/1234)
+- valid: A boolean indication of the validation result (True or False)
+- error_count: An integer representation of the number of validation errors (ex. 1)
+- explanation: An explanation of any validation errors (You are missing the following fields ...)
 
-DACSspace will prompt you to answer two questions allowing you to limit which resources you'd like the script to evaluate:
+If you are using Microsoft Excel to view the CSV file, consult the following links to avoid encoding issues: [Excel 2007](https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/how-import-csv-file-uses-utf-8-character-encoding-0), [Excel 2013](https://www.ias.edu/itg/how-import-csv-file-uses-utf-8-character-encoding).
 
-```
-Welcome to DACSspace!
-I'll ask you a series of questions to refine how to script works.
-If you want to use the default value for a question press the ENTER key.
+#### What schema to validate your data against
 
-Do you want DACSspace to include unpublished resources? y/n (default is n):
-Do you want to further limit the script by a specific resource id? If so, enter a string that must be present in the resource id (enter to skip):
-```
+The default JSON schema that DACSspace will run the data it fetches from your ArchivesSpace repository against is the single_level_required JSON schema. If you want to validate your data against a different schema, you have two options:
 
-Pressing the ENTER key for both questions will use the default version of the script which will get ALL resources.
+1. To run DACSspace against a schema other than single_level_required within the `schemas` directory in dacsspace, use the command line argument `--schema_identifier` and specify the identifier for that schema. The identifier must be entered in as a string.
+2. To run DACSspace against a schema that is external to dacsspace, use the command line argument `schema_filepath` and specify the filepath to this external schema. The filepath must be entered in as a string.
 
-The script will create a list of evaluated resources in a csv file (default is `dacs_singlelevel_report.csv`).
+### Using DACSspace in another Python program
 
-A sample csv file will look like this:
+Different components of the DACSspace package can be incorporated into other Python programs.
 
-| title | publish | resource | extent | date| language | repository | creator | scope | restrictions
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| #resource title | TRUE | #resourceId | 20.8 | inclusive|  eng   | #NameofRepository | FALSE | #scopenote| #accessrestriction
-| #resource title | TRUE | #resourceId | 50.6 | single   |  FALSE | #NameofRepository | #creator | FALSE| FALSE
+For example, say you had a set of data that has already been exported from ArchivesSpace into another sort of container. You do not need to run the entire DACSspace package, but you do want to validate your data set against a JSON schema. To do this, add this code to your script:
 
-If you are using Microsoft Excel to view the csv file, consult the following links to avoid encoding issues: [Excel 2007](https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/how-import-csv-file-uses-utf-8-character-encoding-0), [Excel 2013](https://www.itg.ias.edu/node/985).
+`from dacsspace.validator import Validator
+
+exported_data = [{"title": "Archival object" ... }, { ...}]
+validator = Validator("single_level_required.json", None)
+results = [validator.validate_data(obj) for obj in exported_data]
+print(results)`

+
+### Contribution standards
+
+#### Style
+
+DACSspace uses the Python PEP8 community style guidelines. To conform to these guidelines, the following linters are part of the pre-commit:
+
+* autopep8 formats the code automatically
+* flake8 checks for style problems as well as errors and complexity
+* isort sorts imports alphabetically, and automatically separated into sections and by type
+
+After locally installing pre-commit, install the git-hook scripts in the DACSSpace directory:
+
+    ```
+    pre-commit install
+    ```  
+
+#### Documentation
+
+Docstrings should explain what a module, class, or function does by explaining its syntax and the semantics of its components. They focus on specific elements of the code, and less on how the code works. The point of docstrings is to provide information about the code you have written; what it does, any exceptions it raises, what it returns, relevant details about the parameters, and any assumptions which might not be obvious. Docstrings should describe a small segment of code and not the way the code is implemented in a larger environment.
+
+DACSspace adheres to [Google’s docstring style guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#381-docstrings). There are two types of docstrings: one-liners and multi-line docstrings. A one-line docstring may be perfectly appropriate for obvious cases where the code is immediately self-explanatory. Use multiline docstrings for all other cases.
+
+#### Tests
+
+New code should  have unit tests. Tests are written in unittest style and run using [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/).
