Validata: An online tool for testing RDF data conformance
Validata is an online web application for validating an RDF document against a set of constraints. This is useful for data exchange applications or ensuring conformance of an RDF dataset against a community agreed standard. Constraints are expressed as a Shape Expression (ShEx) schema. Validata extends the ShEx functionality to support multiple requirement levels. Validata can be repurposed for different deployments by providing it with a new ShEx schema.
The Validata code is available from https://github.com/HW-SWeL/Validata. Existing deployments are available for:
