DESCRIPTION

24       This  is  a  simple validator which checks that all used properties are
25       actually defined, and that the domain and range of  properties  is  ex‐
26       plicitly correct.  Note that an "error" from this program does not nec‐
27       essarily mean data is invalid, since it is not required  to  explicitly
28       list types in RDF, however it is a good idea to do so.
29
30       This program never retrieves data from the web or magical places on the
31       file system, it only processes files passed  directly  on  the  command
32       line.   This  means you must pass all used vocabularies to get a useful
33       result.
34
35       If an appropriate schema is available,  literals  are  checked  against
36       datatype  definitions (both the explicit datatype of the literal itself
37       as well as any types implied by the corresponding property).  Three XML
38       Schema Datatypes (XSD) constraints are currently supported: regular ex‐
39       pressions (xsd:pattern), and inclusive range (xsd:minimumInclusive  and
40       xsd:maximumInclusive).   Given an appropriate schema, this is enough to
41       validate against most of the standard XSD datatypes.
