OpenAtlas

The ACDH project "Prosopographical Research Platform Austria (PFP)" (https://gitlab.oeaw.ac.at/acdh-ch/pfp) aims to aggregate person-based research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) using Digital Humanities methodologies.

Given that OpenAtlas projects also encompass prosopographical research, implementing an RDF export for PFP would significantly align with and enhance the objectives of the ACDH. This export would facilitate data interoperability and enable seamless integration with other linked data resources.

To ensure the validity and consistency of the generated RDF, we should use a SHACL validation. A SHACL file, attached to this issue, can be used to define the data constraints and rules.
Validation Tools:

• The online validator at https://www.itb.ec.europa.eu/shacl/any/upload can be used for web-based validation.
• The Python library "pySHACL" (https://github.com/RDFLib/pySHACL), as suggested by Lukas (lupl), provides a programmatic approach for validation.

Update October 2025:
Matthias gave us the hint to test it with https://gitlab.oeaw.ac.at/acdh-ch/pfp/pfp-source-data.
