SHACL is meant for validation. It has built-in information that would allow validating graph data. Normally, in the world of linked data / RDF, this would happen via some tool that supports shacl-validation of RDF data. But for the UI that we are building, we want to bring those validations to the front. Ideally, each form field should validate its data on entry. Additionally, there could be a validation step for a whole node when it is saved, likely when the user hits a "Save" button.
An easy starting point will be to look at required fields. Shacl will assign a cardinality constraint of sh:minCount 1 if a node property is required, and that can translate easily into a required form field.
On the form level, the validation process could include some javascript-based graph validator. Should look further into https://github.com/rdf-ext/shacl-engine
Lastly, the agent/service that ingests the collected data could also decide to run some server-sode validation. Perhaps pyshacl could be useful for that.

Vuetify supports various ways of data validation, and validation error display to users, depending on the type of form entry field. E.g. input types for text fields: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input. More generally, Vuetify has the
