What is SHACL ? #1

Open tfrancart opened 1 year ago

Suggestion:

SHACL stands for Shapes Constraint Language. It's a declarative language for specifying the structure of an RDF graph. This specification can serve as a basis for:

RDF data validation
Form building (creation/edition/filtering forms)
Documentation of the graph structure

SHACL also includes general SPARQL-based rule definition and can thus be used as an RDF data transformation language.

Documentation of the graph structure

I was thinking of the human-readable documentation generated by SHACL Play at https://shacl-play.sparna.fr/play/doc, of which this page is a good example https://europarl.github.io/eli-ep/, or this one https://europarl.github.io/eli-ep/dsd/parliamentary-questions/, or this one https://europarl.github.io/org-ep/dsd/meps/ (other examples available from https://data.europarl.europa.eu/en/developer-corner)
