The Data Shapes Working Group has published SHACL 1.2 Core and SHACL 1.2 SPARQL Extensions as First Public Working Drafts.
SHACL is a language for validating RDF graphs against a set of conditions.
The mission of the Data Shapes Working Group is to update data shapes standards in line with the versions of core Semantic Web standards that cater for RDF-star and to extend the applications of data shapes with new packaging and use specifications.
