Eighteen new issues were opened during the period and twelve issues were fixed and closed under the DCAT-AP minor release version 1.2 from November 2018 and the DCAT-AP bug fix release version 1.2.1 and StatDCAT-AP bug fix release version 1.0.1 from May 2019. The remaining 56 issues remained open for discussions for the next major release planned for November 2019. The issues presented below from section 2.3 to 2.5 are still open for comments and will be discussed with the DCAT-AP Working Group, in preparation for the next major release scheduled for November 2019. 2.2 The categorisation of the issues The issues are grouped in the next sections into four categories: 1. Issues that involve bug fix changes in section 2.3 2. Issues that involve minor semantic changes in section 2.4 3. Issues that involve major semantic changes in section 2.5 4. Issues that were closed in section 2.6 2.3 Issues that involve bug fix changes ID DCAT-AP-58 Title rdf file > cleanup of the prefixes URL https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/issues/58 Discussion There are non-used prefixes in the RDF file and is best to clean them up. Proposed resolution Cleanup non-used prefixes in the next major release cycle from November 2019. 6 Change requests for DCAT-AP are handled through an issue tracker on GitHub (https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/). This repository had 28 watchers (https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/watchers) as of March 2019, two being members of the SEMIC team.

RDF and Linked Data have broad applicability across many fields, from aircraft manufacturing to zoology. Requirements for detecting bad data differ across communities, fields, and tasks, but nearly all involve some form of data validation. This book introduces data validation and describes its practical use in day-to-day data exchange. The Semantic Web offers a bold, new take on how to organize, distribute, index, and share data. Using Web addresses (URIs) as identifiers for data elements enables the construction of distributed databases on a global scale. Like the Web, the Semantic Web is heralded as an information revolution, and also like the Web, it is encumbered by data quality issues. The quality of Semantic Web data is compromised by the lack of resources for data curation, for maintenance, and for developing globally applicable data models. At the enterprise scale, these problems have conventional solutions. Master data management provides an enterprise-wide vocabulary, while constraint languages capture and enforce data structures. Filling a need long recognized by Semantic Web users, shapes languages provide models and vocabularies for expressing such structural constraints.

  • Deciding SHACL Shape Containment Through Description Logics Reasoning
    Deciding SHACL Shape Containment through Description Logics Reasoning Martin Leinberger1, Philipp Seifer2, Tjitze Rienstra1, Ralf Lämmel2, and Steffen Staab3;4 1 Inst. for Web Science and Technologies, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany 2 The Software Languages Team, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany 3 Institute for Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany 4 Web and Internet Science Research Group, University of Southampton, England Abstract. The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) allows for for- malizing constraints over RDF data graphs. A shape groups a set of constraints that may be fulfilled by nodes in the RDF graph. We investi- gate the problem of containment between SHACL shapes. One shape is contained in a second shape if every graph node meeting the constraints of the first shape also meets the constraints of the second. Todecide shape containment, we map SHACL shape graphs into description logic axioms such that shape containment can be answered by description logic reasoning. We identify several, increasingly tight syntactic restrictions of SHACL for which this approach becomes sound and complete. 1 Introduction RDF has been designed as a flexible, semi-structured data format. To ensure data quality and to allow for restricting its large flexibility in specific domains, the W3C has standardized the Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)5. A set of SHACL shapes are represented in a shape graph. A shape graph represents constraints that only a subset of all possible RDF data graphs conform to. A SHACL processor may validate whether a given RDF data graph conforms to a given SHACL shape graph. A shape graph and a data graph that act as a running example are pre- sented in Fig.

  • Using Rule-Based Reasoning for RDF Validation
    Using Rule-Based Reasoning for RDF Validation Dörthe Arndt, Ben De Meester, Anastasia Dimou, Ruben Verborgh, and Erik Mannens Ghent University - imec - IDLab Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium [email protected] Abstract. The success of the Semantic Web highly depends on its in- gredients. If we want to fully realize the vision of a machine-readable Web, it is crucial that Linked Data are actually useful for machines con- suming them. On this background it is not surprising that (Linked) Data validation is an ongoing research topic in the community. However, most approaches so far either do not consider reasoning, and thereby miss the chance of detecting implicit constraint violations, or they base them- selves on a combination of dierent formalisms, eg Description Logics combined with SPARQL. In this paper, we propose using Rule-Based Web Logics for RDF validation focusing on the concepts needed to sup- port the most common validation constraints, such as Scoped Negation As Failure (SNAF), and the predicates dened in the Rule Interchange Format (RIF). We prove the feasibility of the approach by providing an implementation in Notation3 Logic. As such, we show that rule logic can cover both validation and reasoning if it is expressive enough. Keywords: N3, RDF Validation, Rule-Based Reasoning 1 Introduction The amount of publicly available Linked Open Data (LOD) sets is constantly growing1, however, the diversity of the data employed in applications is mostly very limited: only a handful of RDF data is used frequently [27]. One of the reasons for this is that the datasets' quality and consistency varies signicantly, ranging from expensively curated to relatively low quality data [33], and thus need to be validated carefully before use.

  • SHACL Satisfiability and Containment
    SHACL Satisfiability and Containment Paolo Pareti1 , George Konstantinidis1 , Fabio Mogavero2 , and Timothy J. Norman1 1 University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom {pp1v17,g.konstantinidis,t.j.norman}@soton.ac.uk 2 Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Napoli, Italy [email protected] Abstract. The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) is a recent W3C recom- mendation language for validating RDF data. Specifically, SHACL documents are collections of constraints that enforce particular shapes on an RDF graph. Previous work on the topic has provided theoretical and practical results for the validation problem, but did not consider the standard decision problems of satisfiability and containment, which are crucial for verifying the feasibility of the constraints and important for design and optimization purposes. In this paper, we undertake a thorough study of different features of non-recursive SHACL by providing a translation to a new first-order language, called SCL, that precisely captures the semantics of SHACL w.r.t. satisfiability and containment. We study the interaction of SHACL features in this logic and provide the detailed map of decidability and complexity results of the aforementioned decision problems for different SHACL sublanguages. Notably, we prove that both problems are undecidable for the full language, but we present decidable combinations of interesting features. 1 Introduction The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) has been recently introduced as a W3C recommendation language for the validation of RDF graphs, and it has already been adopted by mainstream tools and triplestores. A SHACL document is a collection of shapes which define particular constraints and specify which nodes in a graph should be validated against these constraints.

  • Finding Non-Compliances with Declarative Process Constraints Through Semantic Technologies
    Finding Non-compliances with Declarative Process Constraints through Semantic Technologies Claudio Di Ciccio2, Fajar J. Ekaputra1, Alessio Cecconi2, Andreas Ekelhart1, Elmar Kiesling1 1 TU Wien, Favoritenstrasse 9-11, 1040 Vienna, Austria, [email protected] 2 WU Vienna, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria fclaudio.di.ciccio,[email protected] Abstract. Business process compliance checking enables organisations to assess whether their processes fulfil a given set of constraints, such as regulations, laws, or guidelines. Whilst many process analysts still rely on ad-hoc, often handcrafted per- case checks, a variety of constraint languages and approaches have been developed in recent years to provide automated compliance checking. A salient example is DE- CLARE, a well-established declarative process specification language based on tem- poral logics. DECLARE specifies the behaviour of processes through temporal rules that constrain the execution of tasks. So far, however, automated compliance check- ing approaches typically report compliance only at the aggregate level, using binary evaluations of constraints on execution traces. Consequently, their results lack gran- ular information on violations and their context, which hampers auditability of pro- cess data for analytic and forensic purposes. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach that leverages semantic technologies for compliance checking. Our approach proceeds in two stages. First, we translate DECLARE templates into state- ments in SHACL, a graph-based constraint language. Then, we evaluate the resulting constraints on the graph-based, semantic representation of process execution logs. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by testing its implementation on real- world event logs. Finally, we discuss its implications and future research directions.

This paper describes our tools and method for an evaluation of the practical and logical implications of combining common linked data vocabularies into a single local logical model for the purpose of reasoning or performing quality evalua- tions. These vocabularies need to be unified to form a combined model because they reference or reuse terms from other linked data vocabularies and thus the definitions of those terms must be imported. We found that strong interdependencies between vocabularies are common and that a significant number of logical and practical problems make this model unification inconsistent. In addition to identifying problems, this paper suggests a set of recommendations for linked data ontology design best practice. Finally we make some suggestions for improving OWL’s support for distributed authoring and ontology reuse. Keywords: Linked Data, Reasoning, Data Quality 1.

  • Trav-SHACL: Efficiently Validating Networks of SHACL Constraints
    Trav-SHACL: Efficiently Validating Networks of SHACL Constraints M´onicaFiguera1,2, Philipp D. Rohde1,3, and Maria-Esther Vidal1,3 1L3S Research Center, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany 2University of Bonn, Germany 3TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, Hannover, Germany [email protected], fphilipp.rohde,[email protected] Abstract Knowledge graphs have emerged as expressive data structures for Web data. Knowledge graph potential and the demand for ecosystems to facili- tate their creation, curation, and understanding, is testified in diverse domains, e.g., biomedicine. The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) is the W3C rec- ommendation language for integrity constraints over RDF knowledge graphs. Enabling quality assements of knowledge graphs, SHACL is rapidly gaining attention in real-world scenarios. SHACL models integrity constraints as a net- work of shapes, where a shape contains the constraints to be fullfiled by the same entities. The validation of a SHACL shape schema can face the issue of tractability during validation. To facilitate full adoption, efficient computational methods are required. We present Trav-SHACL, a SHACL engine capable of planning the traversal and execution of a shape schema in a way that invalid entities are detected early and needless validations are minimized. Trav-SHACL reorders the shapes in a shape schema for efficient validation and rewrites target and constraint queries for the fast detection of invalid entities. Trav-SHACL is empirically evaluated on 27 testbeds executed against knowledge graphs of up to 34M triples. Our experimental results suggest that Trav-SHACL exhibits high performance gradually and reduces validation time by a factor of up to arXiv:2101.07136v1 [cs.DB] 18 Jan 2021 28.93 compared to the state of the art.
