cannam@85: .SH DESCRIPTION
cannam@85: This is a simple validator which checks that all used properties are actually
cannam@85: defined, and that the domain and range of properties is explicitly correct.
cannam@85: Note that an "error" from this program does not necessarily mean data is
cannam@85: invalid, since it is not required to explicitly list types in RDF, however it
cannam@85: is a good idea to do so.
cannam@85: 
cannam@85: This program never retrieves data from the web or magical places on the file
cannam@85: system, it only processes files passed directly on the command line.  This
cannam@85: means you must pass all used vocabularies to get a useful result.
cannam@85: 
cannam@85: If an appropriate schema is available, literals are checked against datatype
cannam@85: definitions (both the explicit datatype of the literal itself as well as any
cannam@85: types implied by the corresponding property).  Three XML Schema Datatypes (XSD)
cannam@85: constraints are currently supported: regular expressions (xsd:pattern), and
cannam@85: inclusive range (xsd:minimumInclusive and xsd:maximumInclusive).  Given an
cannam@85: appropriate schema, this is enough to validate against most of the standard XSD
cannam@85: datatypes.
