The term "validate" is not very well defined in the RDFS space.  It
sounds like you want a lot more than simple RDF syntax validation (as
done by the W3C validator [1]).   You might look at what OWL has in
mind for "conformance" [2] and see if (a) that makes sense and (b) is
what you want.   (OWL-Full is an extension of RDFS, so any OWL-Full
processor would be an RDFS processor, as I understand it).

If that's not what you have in mind (or if it's phrased too
confusingly in OWL jargon), perhaps you can sketch out what you'd
really like to have a more-than-syntax validator to do.  Thanks!
