Re: Schema.org related SHACL shapes

Hello,

Dan B.,

While I am disappointed that no one has already done my work for me :-),
what you have confirmed (I think) is that it is work worth doing and there
are no known red flags against considering developing SHACL Shapes which
would validate schema.org data instances.

If anyone can point me to specific work that have experimented with
creating SHACL Shapes which validate schema.org data instances, I would be
interested. I will keep looking.

Based on the breadth and extent of schema.org, it would seem to be a lot of
work for complete validation.


Alasdair,

I looked at your site, but did not see any SHACL Shapes related to
schema.org classes or properties. I assume you are using them underneath
somewhere...? Can they be shared?


Gregory, Thomas,

Thank you for pointing me at http://datashapes.org/schema. Unless I am
mistaken, it ( http://datashapes.org/schema.ttl ) seems that is about
validating schema.org classes and properties itself and not data instances.

Although, their "example file" (
http://datashapes.org/schemashacl.shapes.ttl ) is what I am looking for,
but it only covers one class. Still, there will be things in there that I
can use.

It does provide some nice examples for how to do certain things in SHACL.


Umut, Elias,

Thank you for pointing me at semantify.it. I will have to take a closer
look, but it does not appear to have what I am looking for this time, which
is literally a SHACL Shape which can validate
https://schema.org/Invoice#Invoice-gen-367 , for example -- and beyond
that, SHACL Shapes which could validate data instances of all of the
schema.org classes and properties. Incomplete solutions would be of value.

James
