ShEx support?

[ajs6f]

Hi, just a quick question here: is AKSW interested in ShEx support in the future? (I could not any mention in the documentation I read: my apologies if I missed it and am asking a question that has already been answered.)

[jimkont]

yes, this is on the future plans (but indeed not yet written anywhere besides oral discussions).
I was thinking to integrate with ShExJava or Shaclex instead on a first iteration but haven't got the time to look into that yet

[ajs6f]

Good to hear, thanks! ShExJava now uses Apache Commons RDF, which would give you a bit of flexibility, but I don't know how interesting that is to you.

Thanks for the heads up!
Another goal is to natively support RDF4J (in addition to Jena) so need to look at Apache Commons RDF anyway.

I would like to keep this issue open as a reminder and for others to discover easier so I am reopening it.
