SHACL (SHAPES Constraint Language)* is a powerful, recently released W3C standard for data validation and modeling, ontology design, inferencing and data transformation. SHACL is based on RDF and SPARQL. The design of SHACL is heavily inspired by SPIN (which originated from TopQuadrant) and IBM's Resource Shapes and therefore inherits a wealth of practical experience, solving real-world problems and “getting the job done”. 

Irene Polikoff, CEO of TopQuadrant, who was co-chair of the SHACL Working Group and is currently co-chair of the W3C SHACL Community Group, will give an overview of SHACL’s design, features, best practices for its use and highlight why it is a significant complement to the Semantic Standards Technology Stack. She will also give insight into what Jon Voskull, CEO of Taxonic and an experienced information management professional, said:
“… SHACL is a significant step towards making Linked Data more viable and useable in practical situations. Many people believe that … SHACL will be a game changer in Data Governance and Big Data.”
