Intro

Here is an up to date list of ShEx/SHACL implementations. It was started in the book Validating RDF:

• shex: http://book.validatingrdf.com/bookHtml010.html#sec63
• shacl: http://book.validatingrdf.com/bookHtml011.html#sec124

It is now updated at https://github.com/validatingrdf/validatingrdf.github.io/wiki/Updated-list-of-implementations

Shape Conversion

ShEx: the core can convert between readable/compact (ShExC), JSON (ShExJ), RDF (ShExR)

Declarative UIs

Data viewers/Editors based on shapes:

• https://github.com/semantifyit/annotation-editor: for schema.org, using SHACL
• http://rdforms.org/#!templateReference.md, https://bitbucket.org/metasolutions/rdforms/ by MetaSolutions: based on its own template definitions, not shapes (ShacShifter can convert to these)
• https://entryscape.com/: by MetaSolutions, based on RDForms, for editing DCAT descriptions
  • Catalog: Manage and publish datasets according to the DCAT-AP standard. Datasets can be public APIs, data dumps, document collections, etc.
  • Terms: Create teminologies for reuse according to SKOS standard. Build upon existing terminologies or create new ones. (Is this based on RDForms?)
  • Workbench: Collaboratively manage and publish custom entities using Linked Data. Describe and enrich your entities with metadata.
  • Registry and harvesting of: DCAT-AP files, CKAN API and INSPIRE sources via the CSVW protocol
• Vitro: https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro. generic ontology and instance editor. Used in VIVO for science data
  • Potentially used in LD4L for library data: https://github.com/ld4l-labs/Vitro.
  • VitroLib uses SHACL as form description language: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ld4lLABS/The+VitroLib+Metadata+Editor.
  • Paper: The SHACL Awakens: A funny thing happened on the way to implementing a metadata application profile in Vitro, VIVO 2018
