First Public Working Draft: SHACL 1.2 Profiling

The Data Shapes Working Group has published today a First Public Working Draft of SHACL 1.2 Profiling. SHACL, the Shapes Constraint Language, is a language for describing the structure of RDF graphs. SHACL may be used for a variety of purposes such as validating, inferencing, modeling domains, generating ontologies to inform other agents, building user interfaces, generating code, and integrating data. 

SHACL Profiling defines elements of the SHACL Shapes Constraint Language created to allow for profiles of SHACL and profiling with SHACL. This document's scope is limited to profiling of RDF graphs, including graphs containing SHACL Shapes. 

This specification is part of the SHACL 1.2 family of specifications. See the SHACL 1.2 Overview for a more detailed introduction to them.
