Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)
Glossary Page
SHACL provides a language for validating RDF graphs based on a set of conditions expressed as shapes and other constructs in RDF form. In this process, the RDF graph that contains the shapes is called the shapes graph, while the one being validated is called the data graph. By validating data graphs against shapes graphs, SHACL allows for the creation of descriptions of data graphs that meet specific conditions, which can be useful for purposes such as building user interfaces, generating code, and integrating data.
