ISSUE-113: Let a user interface group design the connection between SHACL and UI tools

SHACL and user interfaces

Let a user interface group design the connection between SHACL and UI tools

State:

CLOSED

Product:

SHACL - UI

Raised by:

Peter Patel-Schneider

Opened on:

2015-11-12

Description:

The WG charter includes the goal of "Human and machine interpretation of shapes to [...] develop user interfaces."

SHACL includes shapes and constraints. Most constraints are expected to be property or inverse property constraints.

These SHACL features provide a backbone for the development of user interfaces related to shapes. UI tools can, for example, use property and inverse property constraints to determine which properties should be part of an input form to create data that conforms to a shape. Because shapes and contstraints are nodes in RDF graphs they can have extra information associated with them that can be exploited by user interface tools.


PROPOSAL: The RDF Data Shapes working group should stop at providing a backbone for UI interface construction and let others design the information needed for connecting SHACL shapes and constraints to UI tools. To conform with this sentiment, sh:defaultValue will be removed from the SHACL vocabulary.
