SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ontology teams struggle to validate RDF/OWL ontologies, leading to silent errors and misaligned data. This skill provides reliable syntax checks and SHACL constraint validation to catch issues early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Syntax validation: Parse Turtle/RDF and detect common syntax issues.
  • SHACL validation: Validate shapes against SHACL constraints with an expected shapes/ directory.
  • Remediation workflow: Guided steps to fix issues and re-validate to ensure production-ready artifacts.

Quick Start

Run the validation command on your ontology hub to surface syntax and SHACL remediation guidance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate RDF and Turtle ontology files for syntax errors?

You can validate RDF and Turtle ontology files by parsing syntax to detect common structural issues. This skill checks TTL/RDF formats directly, surfacing syntax errors early to prevent silent data misalignment in your ontology project.

How do I run SHACL validation on an OWL ontology?

To run SHACL validation, apply SHACL constraints against your ontology using a designated shapes directory. The skill validates shapes against these constraints and provides structured remediation steps for any violations found.

Do I need a shapes directory to validate SHACL constraints?

Yes, a shapes directory is required to run SHACL validations. The validation process depends on this directory to load SHACL constraints and test your ontology against them for compliance.

What is the best way to fix SHACL violations in an RDF ontology project?

The best way to fix SHACL violations is to follow a guided remediation workflow. After validation detects violations, the skill provides structured remediation steps to fix issues and re-validate, ensuring production-ready artifacts.

Can I use this to check both syntax and SHACL compliance at the same time?

Yes, you can check both syntax and SHACL compliance together. The validation command parses Turtle/RDF syntax and simultaneously tests SHACL shapes, providing combined remediation guidance for production-ready artifacts.
