The specification

• Follows the Web Platform Design Principles.
• Includes Security and Privacy Considerations sections based on answers to the Security/Privacy Questionnaire.

Where and by whom is the work is being done?

• GitHub repo: https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes/

  • SHACL CG
  • Dataset Exchange WG
  • Open Geospatial Consortium

Feedback so far

• Active horizontal reviews:
  • https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes/issues/891
• Multi-stakeholder feedback:
  • Dataset Exchange WG (many common editors) that this Spec cannot rely on the elements in DX-PROF as that is undergoing revision. As a result, we have reduced dependence to a minimum
• Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification:
  • Unresolved Issues: we have reduced scope so the document now only contains resolved implemented and propositions
  • Opposition: we have not encountered any
• Status/issue trackers for implementations:
  • https://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl12-profiling/implementation-report/

You should also know that...

This document is a narrower form of the Dataset Exchange WG's Profiles Vocabulary. This doc only deals only with SHACL profiling, within the wider concept of profiling that DX-PROF sets. This narrow implementation was thought necessary due to the profuse use of profiling of RDF with SHACL.
