About Shape Expressions

Shape Expressions (ShEx) was developed to address the need for a formal mechanism to validate RDF data structures. It emerged in the mid-2010s as part of efforts by the Semantic Web community to enhance data interoperability and integrity. The language provided a standardized way to ensure RDF graphs met specific structural requirements, facilitating more reliable data exchange and integration.

Strengths of Shape Expressions include precise validation of RDF data, ease of use, and strong community support. Weaknesses involve limited adoption compared to other technologies and potential complexity for large datasets. Competitors include SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language) and OWL (Web Ontology Language).
