Implementation of a visual editor for SHACL-based metadata schemas

The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) provides a valuable standard for resource description framework graphs (RDF), allowing ontologies to be formatted and validated in a predictable way. There is a barrier to entry for the creation of SHACL documents as it requires being familiar with the structuring of both RDF and SHACL. A visual editor bridges the gap by showing the relevant SHACL interactions to the user, facilitating the manual creation process. This research aims to investigate the implementation of a visual editor that generates valid SHACL-based metadata schemas, and how it can incorporate intuitive features for seamless user adoption.
