Example Input:

NamedThing:
  slots:
    - id
    - name

HasAliases:
  mixin: true
  attributes:
    aliases:
      multivalued: true

Person:
  is_a: NamedThing
  mixins:
    - HasAliases
  slots:
    - birth_date
    - age_in_years
    - gender

Command Line

gen-shacl

Generate SHACL turtle from a LinkML model

gen-shacl [OPTIONS] YAMLFILE

Options

--closed, --non-closed

Use ‘–closed’ to generate closed SHACL shapes. Use ‘–non-closed’ to generate open SHACL shapes.

Default:

True

-s, --suffix <suffix>

Use –suffix to append given string to SHACL class name (e. g. –suffix Shape: Person becomes PersonShape).

--include-annotations, --exclude-annotations

Use –include-annotations to include annotations of slots, types, and classes in the generated SHACL shapes.

Default:

False

--exclude-imports, --include-imports

Use –exclude-imports to exclude imported elements from the generated SHACL shapes. This is useful when extending a substantial ontology to avoid large output files.

Default:

False

-V, --version

Show the version and exit.

-f, --format <format>

Output format

Default:

'ttl'

Options:

ttl

--metadata, --no-metadata

Include metadata in output

Default:

True

--useuris, --metauris

Use class and slot URIs over model uris

Default:

True

-im, --importmap <importmap>

Import mapping file

--log_level <log_level>

Logging level

Default:

'WARNING'

Options:

CRITICAL | ERROR | WARNING | INFO | DEBUG

-v, --verbose

Verbosity. Takes precedence over –log_level.

--mergeimports, --no-mergeimports

Merge imports into source file (default=mergeimports)

--stacktrace, --no-stacktrace

Print a stack trace when an error occurs

Default:

False
