If you look at the live examples, there are several options to generate SPARQL (under Translations, on the right), such as for a "validating query". As I'm sure you are aware, the corresponding SPARQL is generally much more verbose and therefore not as appealing to a broader audience - even if they are familiar with SPARQL. The ShEx demo makes the issues being polled much more concrete and the questionnaire is made more interesting and dynamic by engaging the reader through interaction with the examples, mouse-over highlighting, etc. In my view, if you removed the ShEx from the questionnaire, you would elicit less feedback. At MAASTRO Clinic, we have used the SPARQL generation of the ShEx tool to validate clinical data from radiation oncology. ShEx serves as a more concise and human-readable version of the schema than SPARQL while enabling the application of SPARQL, as I hope is eventually achievable with SHACL. -Scott On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 1:16 AM, Holger Knublauch <holger@topquadrant.com> wrote: > If such things are published on a w3.org address by a W3C staff member who > is also W3C contact for the Shapes WG, and the page clearly states that this > will be input to the WG, then at a minimum the WG should have been informed > about this initiative in advance.
