Holger, I will look at sml:CheckConstraints for pointers. The documentation suggests that there is a Validation Result set that can accessed for whatever purpose. Here is the quote: "SHACL includes an RDF vocabulary to represent validation results <https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/#dfn-validation-results> together with structural information that may provide guidance on how to identify or fix a violation." This information is followed by an example that includes various aspects associated with the ConstraintViolation (e.g., sh:subject, sh:predicate, sh:object, sh:message, etc.). In fact, all I am interested in right now, are the sh:message values from the ConstraintViolation and I want to display them in a web page as a result of a REST call. Is there an instance of ConstraintViolation created by the validator that organizes the various sh: properties? I am looking at the sh: prefix related classes and find something called sh:SPARQLConstraint whose instances appear to be the unevaluated sh:messages associated with sh:constraints defined on classes. But this is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the actual violations based on the instances. There is nothing in the vocabulary associated with these classes, nor would I expect to find any, but perhaps there is a separate graph that organizes constraint violations?
The point is that SHACL constraints are introduced [at least partly] for the purpose of tracking violations but I am not seeing the mechanism that provides access to these constraint violations outside of Topbraid Composer and they are only going to provide general value if they [also] work outside of the TBC ecosystem.
