This work addresses validation of RDF data for users in semantic web domains, but appears incremental as it builds on an existing standard.
The paper introduces ASHACL, a variant of the W3C Shapes Constraint Language, to validate RDF graphs against conditions grouped into shapes, but no specific results or numbers are provided.
ASHACL, a variant of the W3C Shapes Constraint Language, is designed to determine whether an RDF graph meets some conditions. These conditions are grouped into shapes, which validate whether particular RDF terms each meet the constraints of the shape. Shapes are themselves expressed as RDF triples in an RDF graph, called a shapes graph.
