Comparing ShEx and SHACL

  • Chapter
Validating RDF Data

Abstract

In this chapter we present a comparison between ShEx and SHACL. The technologies have similar goals and similar features. In fact at the start of the Data Shapes Working Group in 2014, convergence on a unified approach was considered possible. However, this did not happen and as of July 2017 both technologies are maintained as separate solutions.
