IS4.SFI 1.1.0

Semantic File Inspector Base Library

This is the core library of the Semantic File Inspector, defining the common interfaces used in the other projects, as well as core analyzers and formats whose implementation does not depend on any external libraries outside of .NET.

It defines types from these namespaces:

IS4.SFI

This namespace contains various utility classes such as DataTools, TextTools, and UriTools, as well as classes containing extension methods intended to be used from all other components.

IS4.SFI.Analyzers

This namespace is intended to store all analyzers, in this project or others. In the core project, the only defined analyzers are for objects whose types are defined in .NET or in the core project, such as FileAnalyzer, DataAnalyzer, XmlAnalyzer, etc.

IS4.SFI.Formats

This namespace is similar to the previous one but stores classes used for defining and parsing formats. Aside from common interfaces and related components defined here, it defines only formats that can be used from pure .NET, such as XmlFileFormat or ZipFileFormat.

IS4.SFI.Services

This namespace contains specialized interfaces to be used for communication between formats and analyzers or other components in the solution, such as IFileNodeInfo, IFormatObject, ILinkedNode, IEncodingDetector, and similar, as well as their base implementations.

IS4.SFI.Tags

Tags, in this context, are usually small objects intended to be applied to existing objects via other means, providing extended description of them beyond what their original classes support.

In this project, the tags that are defined are IImageTag and IImageResourceTag, usually applied to images via the Image.Tag property, providing information about the origin of the image or the allowed operations.

IS4.SFI.Tools

This namespace hosts various specialized utility classes for general use and for I/O and XML operations. It also exposes the collection of built-in hash algorithms using the BuiltInHash class, or the EncodedUri, which should be used instead of the base Uri class in all situations to control its formatting.

IS4.SFI.Vocabulary

This namespace provides datatypes used for defining RDF vocabularies, such as ClassUri, PropertyUri, or LanguageCode, as well as storing the common vocabulary terms in the static classes Individuals, Classes, Properties, and Datatypes, to be used from code easily.
