shacl-form-example

This application is a minimal demonstration of how to use the shacl-form package. It reads the SHACL Shape stored in shape.ttl and uses shacl-form to generate the files necessary to serve a form that facilitates the input of RDF data.

shape.ttl contains an example SHACL Shape. You can edit this to see how shacl-form reacts to different SHACL Shapes.

How to use

• Run app.py
• Navigate to http://localhost:5000/
• Click 'Generate Form'. The application will read shape.ttl and generate all the files necessary to serve the form
• Fill out the form and submit
• The results will be stored in result.ttl

shacl-form generates two files:

• view/templates/form_contents.html is a Jinja2 template which extends form.html. You will want to edit form.html to control where your form appears on your site.
• map.ttl is a Turtle RDF file which is used to convert information submitted to the form back into RDF.

These two files are a pair and can't be interchanged with files generated for another shape. They will only need to be generated once, but if you want to change the form, you can delete them to generate new ones.
