#shacl — Public Fediverse posts

Good morning Dubrovnik! ESWC 2026 - the 23rd European Semantic Web Conference is starting today. Looking forward to visionary and inspiring keynotes, presentations, and posters, esp. addressing the question on how #SemanticWeb technologies will survive (or even prevail...) the current 3rd wave of #AI

Version 1.0 of the JavaScript #shacl library shacl-engine is out [1]! There are no breaking changes, only new features, but to indicate that this package is production ready, the version was lifted from 0.x to 1.x. Thanks to the #comunica library [2], support for #sparql constraints was added. Along with that feature, custom validation support was added.

SCOOP is a cool tool presented by Xuemin Duan from KU Leuven at #eswc2024. The SCOOP framework integrates the SHACL shapes extracted from RDF data schemas, ontologies, and mapping rules into a unified shapes graph

I'm working on #sparql support for shacl-engine, the fastest and most feature-rich #shacl engine for JavaScript.

You can try the current state in your browser at the playground.

There are a few Edge cases that do not yet work, but this is in progress.

A big thanks goes to the #comunica developers, who developed the SPARQL engine, which does the heaving lifting behind the scenes.
