SHACL Validator

About the tool

SHACL is a W3C standard for describing RDF data models. It is used to define constraints on RDF data. SHACL shapes can be used to validate RDF data.

This online tool allows you to validate RDF data against SHACL shapes expressed in Turtle.

Demo

RDF data (Turtle)

@prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .

ex:Alice
  a foaf:Person ;
  foaf:name "Alice" .1
@prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
2
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .

  a foaf:Person ;

  foaf:name "Alice" .
