Is syntactically valid Turtle also proper Turtle?

When I use an RDF Validator and get the message that my syntax is correct (“Congrats! Your syntax is correct.”:), I still wonder whether my RDF code is proper RDF.

By the way, are there rules dictating what ‘proper’ RDF is?

If so, my question is whether there is a tool that can validate that?

 

The code I am looking at seems uncommon (is it?):

 

@prefix ex: <http://www.example.org/>.

@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .

@prefix dm: <http://data.15926.org/dm/> .

@prefix tpl: <http://data.15926.org/tpl/> .

@prefix meta: <http://data.15926.org/meta/> .

 

tpl:IndividualHasPropertyWithValue

      rdfs:subClassOf dm:Template ;

      rdfs:isDefinedBy tpl:IN-PTYST-100.xml ;

      tpl:hasPropertyPossessor "ID"^^dm:PossibleIndividual ;

      tpl:hasPropertyType "ID"^^dm:ClassOfProperty ;

      tpl:valPropertyValue ""^^xsd:decimal ;

      tpl:hasScale "ID"^^dm:Scale ;

      meta:valEffectiveDate "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sZ"^^xsd:dateTime .

 

Typically "ID"^^dm:PossibleIndividual means ‘the ID of a member of dm:PossibleIndividual <http://data.15926.org/dm/PossibleIndividual>  or a subclass thereof.

 

A random instance of this template is:

 

ex:fcbfda39-4d1a-4047-b4ca-45ab8d44fca4

      rdf:type tpl:IndividualHasPropertyWithValue ;

      tpl:hasPropertyPossessor ex:847931fd-eade-4beb-b07d-a9e889611c19 ; # a dm:PossibleIndividual

      tpl:hasPropertyType rdl:RDS353339 ; # MASS

      tpl:valPropertyValue "30.37"^^xsd:decimal ;

      tpl:hasScale rdl:RDS2229868 ; # METRIC TON

      meta:valEffectiveDate "2021-07-27T10:19:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .

 

where the tpl:hasPropertyPossessor ex:847931fd-eade-4beb-b07d-a9e889611c19 is an instance of dm:PossibleIndividual

For that validation I guess that a combination of SHACL and SPARQL will have to be used.
