Advanced SHACL Training Programme

About This Course

Organizations developing and utilizing knowledge graphs inevitably reach a point where they need to assure data quality. SHACL is the dedicated technology for graph validation, but did you know it can do more than that?

The advanced SHACL training programme is a one-day course presented by Semantic Partners. The course consists of a series of modules with a mix of learning material and hands-on exercises to put what you learn into practice straight away. The environment for the exercises is provided by Semantic Partners hosted in the cloud.
