SHACL4Protege v1.0.0

A SHACL constraint validation plugin for Protégé Desktop [1]

The plugin is tried and tested using Protege 5.5.0 on

• Debian 10 (Buster) with OpenJDK 11,
• Windows 10 (1809) with the bundled JRE 8,
• and Mac OSX Catalina with JDK 8.

The plugin developed using TopBraid SHACL Engine 1.3.1 [2] and Apache Jena 3.14.0 [3].

The plugin was developed by Xiashuo Lin (@xlin) and Fajar Ekaputra (@fekaputra) at TU Wien. Later on, André Wolski (@locke) contributed significantly to clean up the old code and added several features.
