SHACL – new and improved SHACL-based capabilities available across
products
- Added new constraint components in TopBraid/SHACL/strkind.shapes.ttl namespace. They allow
users to check for adherence to common patterns such as e-mail addresses. - Replaced SKOS constraints previously implemented in SPIN with SHACL equivalents. Replaced “hard
coded” SKOS forms with SHACL-based. This makes forms for SKOS concepts more easily
configurable. Users can now not only add new fields, but also delete pre-configured SKOS properties
if desired. - OWL-to- SHACL converter now also handles owl:intersectionOf (also in owl:equivalentClass)
- Added suggestions generators based on sh:defaultValue (tosh namespace)
- Added SHACL-based random triples generator. Available in TBC under Model -> Generate random
triples … and in all TopBraid products using the SPARQLMotion module sml:GenerateRandomData.
