NAME

       sord_validate - Validate RDF data

SYNOPSIS

       sord_validate [OPTION]... INPUT...

OPTIONS

       -h     Print the command line options.

       -l     Print errors on a single line.

       -v     Display version information and exit.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple validator which checks that all used properties are actually defined, and
       that the domain and range of properties is explicitly correct.  Note that an "error"  from
       this  program  does  not  necessarily  mean  data  is invalid, since it is not required to
       explicitly list types in RDF, however it is a good idea to do so.

       This program never retrieves data from the web or magical places on the  file  system,  it
       only  processes  files  passed directly on the command line.  This means you must pass all
       used vocabularies to get a useful result.

       If an appropriate schema is available, literals are checked against  datatype  definitions
       (both  the  explicit  datatype  of  the literal itself as well as any types implied by the
       corresponding property).  Three XML  Schema  Datatypes  (XSD)  constraints  are  currently
       supported:  regular  expressions  (xsd:pattern), and inclusive range (xsd:minimumInclusive
       and xsd:maximumInclusive).  Given an  appropriate  schema,  this  is  enough  to  validate
       against most of the standard XSD datatypes.

EXAMPLES

       sord_validate `find ~/schemas/ -name '*.ttl'` data.ttl
