As schema languages for RDF data become more mature, we are seeing efforts to extend them with recursive semantics, applying diverse ideas from logic programming and description logics. While ShEx has an official recursive semantics based…

The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) allows for formalizing constraints over RDF data graphs. A shape groups a set of constraints that may be fulfilled by nodes in the RDF graph. We investigate the problem of containment between SHACL…

Knowledge graphs have been widely adopted in both enterprises, such as the Google Knowledge Graph, and open platforms like Wikidata, to represent domain knowledge and support artificial intelligence applications. They model real-world…

Ontologies are traditionally expressed in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), that provides a syntax for expressing taxonomies with axioms regulating class membership. The semantics of OWL, based on Description Logic (DL), allows for the use…

The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) is the recent W3C recommendation language for validating RDF data, by verifying certain shapes on graphs. Previous work has largely focused on the validation problem and the standard decision problems…

An RDF data shape is a description of the expected contents of an RDF document (aka graph) or dataset. A major part of this description is the set of constraints that the document or dataset is required to satisfy. W3C recently (2014)…

SHACL is a W3C-proposed schema language for expressing structural constraints on RDF graphs. Recent work on formalizing this language has revealed a striking relationship to description logics. SHACL expressions can use three fundamental…

The increasing complexity of cyberphysical power systems leads to larger attack surfaces to be exploited by malicious actors and a higher risk of faults through misconfiguration. We propose to meet those risks with a declarative approach to…

The paper introduces a tool prototype that combines SHACL's capabilities with ad-hoc validation functions to create a controlled and user-friendly form interface for producing valid RDF data. The proposed tool is developed within the…

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…

SHACL and OWL are two prominent W3C standards for managing RDF data. These languages share many features, but they have one fundamental difference: OWL, designed for inferring facts from incomplete data, makes the open-world assumption,…

We study the relational to RDF data exchange problem, where the tar- get constraints are specified using Shape Expression schema (ShEx). We investi- gate two fundamental problems: 1) consistency which is checking for a given data exchange…

Although the intention of RDF is to provide an open, minimally constraining way for representing information, there exists an increasing number of applications for which guarantees on the structure and values of an RDF data set become…

Although RDF graphs have schema information associated with them, in practice it is very common to find cases in which data do not fully conform to their schema. A prominent example of this is DBpedia, which is RDF data extracted from…

Developing and testing modern RDF-based applications often requires access to RDF datasets with certain characteristics. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to publicly find domain-specific knowledge graphs that conform to a particular set…
