Hi, During Wiki Techstorm 2019 [1], we started exploring simplification for creating shape expressions. One possibility that was explored was to make something like QuickStatements that will take CSV/tabular format as input to generate shape expressions.
ShExStatements is now released: https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements The main goal is to help newcomers write shape expressions. The users write a CSV file and ShExStatements will translate it to a shex file. Take for example, a CSV file concerning a language (with prefixes): https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements/blob/master/examples/language.csv is translated to a shape expression [2]. There are five columns. Column 1 is used for specifying the node name, 2 for specifying the property value, 3 for one or possible values, 4 is for cardinality (+,*) and column 5 for comments. Columns 3,4 and 5 are empty for prefixes. Columns 1, 2, 3 are mandatory. Column 3 can be . (to say any value). Examples related to Wikidata that were used to create some entity Schemas E177, E178, E179 can be found here [3], with some additional examples in [4]. For a detailed documentation, please check [5]. Please let me know if you have any questions/remarks. 1. https://medium.com/@jsamwrites/wiki-techstorm-2019-a996d69c60a5 2. https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements#quick-start 3. https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements/tree/master/examples/wikidata 4. https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements/tree/master/examples 5. https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/ShExStatements/blob/master/docs.md -- Best Regards, John Samuel https://johnsamuel.info/
