This repo contains an RDF data shapes library implemented in Rust. The implementation supports ShEx, SHACL, DCTap and conversions between different RDF data modeling formalisms.
The code can be used as a Rust library
but it also contains a binary called rudof
which can be used as an RDF playground.
We provide binaries for Linux, Windows, Mac and Docker (see releases), as well as Python bindings.
You can download a binary from the latest release page. There you will also find the compiled packages for the installation on your system using a package manager.
Download the binary from https://github.com/rudof-project/rudof/releases
and install the .deb
package running the following commands after replacing X.X.X by the latest version:
wget https://github.com/rudof-project/rudof/releases/download/vX.X.X/rudof_vX.X.X_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rudof_vX.X.X_amd64.deb
The binary can be downloaded from https://github.com/rudof-project/rudof/releases.
The binary is available at: https://github.com/rudof-project/rudof/releases so you can download the corresponding binary to your machine.
The usual way to run/install a binary in Mac is to download it in a folder, add that folder to your PATH and activating the binary using:
chmod +x <binary_file>
After that, the processor may complain the first time about security and you have to agree to use it. Once you agree, it should work.
Compiling from source
rudof
has been implemented in Rust
and is compiled using cargo.
The command cargo run
can be used to compile and run locally the code.
For example:
cargo run -- validate examples/user.ttl --schema examples/user.shex --shapemap examples/user.sm
Install cargo deb
(only the first time)
cargo install cargo-deb
Create the .deb
package by:
cargo deb
And run:
sudo dpkg -i target/debian/rudof_0.0.11-1_amd64.deb
The library is also published as a Docker image
(angelip2303/rudof:latest
).
The folder examples
contains several example files with ShEx schemas and RDF data.
rudof validate examples/user.ttl --schema examples/user.shex --shapemap examples/user.sm
We maintain a Wiki page with some common Usage scenarios and How-to guides.
It is possible to change the debug level information with:
export RUST_LOG=value
where value
can be debug
to show more verbose information or info
to show basic information.

and an RDF turtle file in examples/user.ttl
we can ask to validate node :a
with shape label :User
using:
rudof validate -s examples/user.shex -d examples/user.ttl -n :a -l :User
If there is a shapemap in examples/user.sm
, we can validate using:
rudof validate -s examples/user.shex -d examples/user.ttl -m examples/user.sm
rudof shacl-validate --shapes examples/simple_shacl.ttl examples/simple.ttl
