shaclgen 0.2.5.1

Shacl graph generator

Shaclgen takes either a data graph(s) or schema(s) as input and generates a basic shape file based on the classes and properties present.

Shape files from data graphs: By default, the input graph is processed as a data graph (instance triples). Three formats are possible for data graphs: simple, nested, and extended.

• Simple: Each class and property generate individual Node- and PropertyShapes.

• Nested: Property shapes will be nested in nodeshapes iif they occur with one class.

• Extended: Expands nested shapes to create individual property shapes for each property, in addition to nesting them when appropriate.

Shape files from ontologies: If the input is a schema or ontology, shaclgen generates a nested shape file: properties with rdfs:domain defined in the ontology will be nested within the appropriate NodeShape. rdfs:range definitions for XML and rdfs datatypes are included.

Added support for OWL constructions is planned.
