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
26       explicitly  correct.   Note  that an "error" from this program does not
27       necessarily mean data is invalid, since it is not required  to  explic‐
28       itly 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
39       expressions (xsd:pattern), and  inclusive  range  (xsd:minimumInclusive
40       and xsd:maximumInclusive).  Given an appropriate schema, this is enough
41       to validate against most of the standard XSD datatypes.
