The Sparnatural knowledge graph explorer leverages SHACL specifications to drive a user interface (UI) that allows end users to easily discover the content of an RDF graph. What is the best way to make this UI-oriented SHACL specification ? if a SHACL specification for the knowledge graph structure already exists, can it be used directly ? does it require customization ? or is the Sparnatural SHACL spec completely decoupled from an existing knowledge graph spec ? and what if no SHACL spec exists at all ?
Based on Nakala, a service offered by Huma-Num (French research infrastructure dedicated to the digital humanities), here is a usecase of an automated version of Sparnatural Thomas submitted as an example for Veronika Heimsbakk’s SHACL for the Practitioner upcoming book about the Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL).
We look forward to reading Veronika’s book, and you ?
