lineage_validator with Reference Data Sets

[greg-infa]

Hi Darren,

It is sometimes necessary to create custom lineage to (or from) Reference Data Sets/Elements. lineage_validator classifies all id's of Reference Data Sets as invalid. Adding "includeRefObjects": "true" to the first call of /access/2/catalog/data/objects inside validate_edc_id function should fix it.
So the lines 298-310 of the script would be:

tResp = edcHelper.session.get(
        apiURL,
        params={
            "offset": 0,
            "pageSize": 1,
            "id": f"{id}",
            "associations": link_type,
            "includeDstLinks": "true",
            "includeSrcLinks": "true",
            "includeRefObjects": "true"
        },
        headers=header,
    )

The is_resource_casesenitive function will not work for Reference Data Sets, as the /access/1/catalog/resources/{resourceName} does not work with Reference Resources well (they may have "too strange" names), but it is not an issue as the first call to /access/2/catalog/data/objects should validate correctly.

Thanks
Greg

thx for the info - the initial rqts for this utility script didn't involve reference resources/objects - your suggested changes make sense.
i can make the change, and also modify the check for case-sensitive resources to handle reference resources
