Chris@0: .SH DESCRIPTION
Chris@0: This is a simple validator which checks that all used properties are actually
Chris@0: defined, and that the domain and range of properties is explicitly correct.
Chris@0: Note that an "error" from this program does not necessarily mean data is
Chris@0: invalid, since it is not required to explicitly list types in RDF, however it
Chris@0: is a good idea to do so.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: This program never retrieves data from the web or magical places on the file
Chris@0: system, it only processes files passed directly on the command line.  This
Chris@0: means you must pass all used vocabularies to get a useful result.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: If an appropriate schema is available, literals are checked against datatype
Chris@0: definitions (both the explicit datatype of the literal itself as well as any
Chris@0: types implied by the corresponding property).  Three XML Schema Datatypes (XSD)
Chris@0: constraints are currently supported: regular expressions (xsd:pattern), and
Chris@0: inclusive range (xsd:minimumInclusive and xsd:maximumInclusive).  Given an
Chris@0: appropriate schema, this is enough to validate against most of the standard XSD
Chris@0: datatypes.
