Introduction

The SHACL Validator is a Java application that validates a data graph against a shape graph using the SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language) specification. It utilizes the Apache Jena library for RDF processing SHACL API for validation. The SHACL Validator Dockerized project provides a convenient way to run the SHACL Validator tool using Apache Jena in a Docker container.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher.
• Apache Maven.
• Docker: Make sure you have Docker installed on your machine.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Daham-Mustaf/SHACL-to-Validate-RDF-Jena-apache-Data.git
   cd SHACL-to-Validate-RDF-Jena-apache-Data
   

2. Build the Docker image using the provided Dockerfile. Run the following command:

   docker build -t shacl-validator .

3. Once the image is built, you can run a container from it:

   docker run -it --rm shacl-validator
   

Usage

1. Save your data graph file src/main/data directory of the project.
2. Save your shape graph file src/main/shape directory of the project.
3. Run the ShaclDemo class as a Java application.
4. The validation report will be generated and saved in the src/main/reports/ directory.

Configuration

You can modify the file paths by updating the following variables in the ShaclValidation class:

• dataFileName: The name of the data graph file.
• shapeFileName: The name of the shape graph file.

Output

• If the data graph conforms to the shape graph, a conform report file will be generated in the src/main/reports/ directory. The file will have the name format: dataFileName_conform_report.ttl.
• If the data graph does not conform to the shape graph, a validation report file will be generated in the src/main/reports/ directory. The file will have the name format: dataFileName_validation_report.ttl.

The report files are in Turtle format and contain information about the validation results.
