Semantic Web technologies (such as RDF and SPARQL) excel at bringing together diverse data in a world of independent data publishers and consumers. Common ontologies help to arrive at a shared understanding of the intended meaning of data.
However, they don’t address one critically important issue: What does it mean for data to be complete and/or valid? Semantic knowledge graphs without a shared notion of completeness and validity quickly turn into a Big Ball of Data Mud.
The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL), an upcoming W3C standard, promises to help solve this problem. By keeping semantics separate from validity, SHACL makes it possible to resolve a slew of data quality and data exchange issues.
