**Adapter utilities for the Tensorlogic ecosystem: symbol tables, axis metadata, domain management, and schema validation.**
The `tensorlogic-adapters` crate provides the bridge between logical expressions and tensor execution by managing:
- **Symbol tables** (predicates, domains, variables)
- **Axis metadata** (variable-to-axis mappings)
- **Domain information** (cardinalities, elements, hierarchies)
- **Domain masks** (filtering, constraints)
- **Parametric types** (generic domains like List<T>, Option<T>)
- **Predicate composition** (define predicates in terms of others)
- **Rich metadata** (provenance tracking, documentation, tagging)
- **Schema validation** (completeness, consistency, semantic checks)
## Features
### Core Symbol Management
- **SymbolTable**: Central registry for domains, predicates, and variables
- **DomainInfo**: Domain definitions with cardinality, elements, and metadata

### Product Domains (NEW)
- **ProductDomain**: Cartesian product types for cross-domain reasoning
- **Binary/Ternary products**: Convenient constructors for common cases

## Installation
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
tensorlogic-adapters = "0.1.0-alpha.1"
```
## Quick Start
### Basic Symbol Table
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::{SymbolTable, DomainInfo, PredicateInfo};
// Create a symbol table
let mut table = SymbolTable::new();
// Add a domain
table.add_domain(DomainInfo::new("Person", 100))?;
// Add a predicate
let knows = PredicateInfo::new(
"knows",
vec!["Person".to_string(), "Person".to_string()]
);
table.add_predicate(knows)?;
// Bind a variable
table.bind_variable("x", "Person")?;
```
### Using Schema Builder (Recommended)
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::SchemaBuilder;
// Build a schema with fluent API
let table = SchemaBuilder::new()
.domain("Person", 100)
.domain("Location", 50)
.predicate("at", vec!["Person", "Location"])
.predicate("knows", vec!["Person", "Person"])
.variable("x", "Person")
.build()?;
```
### Domain Hierarchy
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::DomainHierarchy;
let mut hierarchy = DomainHierarchy::new();
// Define a type hierarchy
hierarchy.add_subtype("Student", "Person");
hierarchy.add_subtype("Teacher", "Person");
hierarchy.add_subtype("Person", "Agent");
// Check relationships
assert!(hierarchy.is_subtype("Student", "Agent")); // Transitive
assert!(hierarchy.is_subtype("Teacher", "Person"));
// Find common supertype
let common = hierarchy.least_common_supertype("Student", "Teacher");
assert_eq!(common, Some("Person".to_string()));
```
### Parametric Types
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::{ParametricType, TypeParameter};
// Create List<Person>
let list_person = ParametricType::list(
TypeParameter::concrete("Person")
);
println!("{}", list_person); // "List<Person>"
// Create Map<String, Int>
let map_type = ParametricType::map(
TypeParameter::concrete("String"),
TypeParameter::concrete("Int")
);
println!("{}", map_type); // "Map<String, Int>"
// Nested types: List<Option<Person>>
let nested = ParametricType::list(
TypeParameter::parametric(
ParametricType::option(TypeParameter::concrete("Person"))
)
);
println!("{}", nested); // "List<Option<Person>>"
```
### Predicate Composition
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::{
CompositePredicate, CompositeRegistry, PredicateBody
};
// Define a composite predicate
let friend = CompositePredicate::new(
"friend",
vec!["x".to_string(), "y".to_string()],
PredicateBody::And(vec![
PredicateBody::Reference {
name: "knows".to_string(),
args: vec!["x".to_string(), "y".to_string()],
},
PredicateBody::Reference {
name: "trusts".to_string(),
args: vec!["x".to_string(), "y".to_string()],
},
])
);
// Register in a registry
let mut registry = CompositeRegistry::new();
registry.register(friend)?;
// Expand with concrete arguments
let expanded = registry.expand(
"friend",
&["alice".to_string(), "bob".to_string()]
)?;
```
### Rich Metadata
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::{DomainInfo, Metadata, Provenance, Documentation};
// Create domain with rich metadata
let mut meta = Metadata::new();
// Add provenance
meta.provenance = Some(
Provenance::new("Alice", "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z")
.with_source("schema.yaml", Some(42))
);
// Add tags
meta.add_tag("experimental");
meta.add_tag("reasoning");
// Add custom attributes
meta.set_attribute("complexity", "O(n^2)");
// Add documentation
let mut doc = Documentation::new("Domain for persons in the knowledge base");
doc.add_note("This domain supports reasoning about human entities");
meta.documentation = Some(doc);
// Attach to domain
let domain = DomainInfo::new("Person", 100)
.with_metadata(meta);
```
### Schema Validation
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::{SymbolTable, SchemaValidator};
let mut table = SymbolTable::new();
// ... populate table ...
// Validate schema
let validator = SchemaValidator::new(&table);
let report = validator.validate()?;
// Check for issues
if !report.errors.is_empty() {
for error in &report.errors {
eprintln!("Error: {}", error);
}
}
if !report.warnings.is_empty() {
for warning in &report.warnings {
println!("Warning: {}", warning);
}
}
```
### JSON/YAML Import/Export
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::SymbolTable;
// Export to JSON
let json = table.to_json()?;
std::fs::write("schema.json", json)?;
// Import from JSON
let json = std::fs::read_to_string("schema.json")?;
let table = SymbolTable::from_json(&json)?;
// Export to YAML
let yaml = table.to_yaml()?;
std::fs::write("schema.yaml", yaml)?;
// Import from YAML
let yaml = std::fs::read_to_string("schema.yaml")?;
let table = SymbolTable::from_yaml(&yaml)?;
```
## Integration with Compiler
The adapters integrate seamlessly with `tensorlogic-compiler`:
```rust
use tensorlogic_adapters::SymbolTable;
use tensorlogic_compiler::CompilerContext;
use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::symbol_integration;
let mut table = SymbolTable::new();
// ... define schema ...
// Sync with compiler context
let mut ctx = CompilerContext::new();
symbol_integration::sync_context_with_symbol_table(&mut ctx, &table)?;
// Build signature registry for type checking
let registry = symbol_integration::build_signature_registry(&table);
```

### Design Principles
1. **Separation of concerns**: Each module has a single, well-defined responsibility
2. **Composability**: Features can be used independently or combined
3. **Type safety**: Rich type system with validation at construction time
4. **Extensibility**: Metadata and attributes allow domain-specific extensions
5. **Performance**: Efficient data structures with minimal overhead
## Use Cases
### Knowledge Graph Integration
Use domain hierarchies and predicate constraints to model ontologies and validate RDF*/SHACL schemas.
### Machine Learning Pipelines
Parametric types and composition enable defining complex feature transformations and model architectures.
### Symbolic Reasoning
Rich metadata and provenance tracking support explainable AI and audit trails.
### Type-Safe DSLs
Schema validation ensures logical expressions are well-typed before compilation.
## CLI Tools
The crate includes two command-line tools:
### Schema Validator
Validate, analyze, and get statistics for schema files:
```bash
# Basic validation
cargo run --bin schema_validate schema.yaml
# With analysis and statistics
cargo run --bin schema_validate --analyze --stats schema.yaml
# Validate JSON schema
cargo run --bin schema_validate --format json schema.json
```
### Schema Migration Tool
Convert, merge, diff, and check compatibility:
```bash
# Convert JSON to YAML
cargo run --bin schema_migrate convert schema.json schema.yaml
# Merge multiple schemas
cargo run --bin schema_migrate merge schema1.yaml schema2.yaml merged.yaml
# Show diff between versions
cargo run --bin schema_migrate diff old.yaml new.yaml
# Check compatibility
cargo run --bin schema_migrate check old.yaml new.yaml
```
## Testing
Run the test suite:
```bash
cargo nextest run -p tensorlogic-adapters
```
**Current Test Stats**: 179 tests, all passing, zero warnings
**Examples**: 8 complete examples in `examples/`
**Benchmarks**: 18 benchmark groups for performance tracking
**New Features**: Product domains, computed domains, lazy loading
## Performance Considerations
- **IndexMap** used for domains/predicates to preserve insertion order while maintaining O(1) lookup
- **HashSet** used for tags and hierarchy tracking for O(1) membership tests
- **Validation** performed eagerly at construction time to catch errors early
- **Serialization** uses efficient binary formats (JSON/YAML) with serde
## Future Enhancements
See [TODO.md](TODO.md) for the complete roadmap. Upcoming features include:
- **Computed domains**: Domains derived from operations
- **Enhanced composition**: Predicate calculus operators
- **Property-based testing**: QuickCheck-style validation
- **Performance optimization**: Caching, lazy evaluation, memory pooling
- **CLI tools**: Schema validation, migration, and diff tools
