TIO-SHACL: First SHACL Validation Framework for TMF Intent Ontology
So, there's this new framework called tio-shacl, and it's the very first comprehensive validation tool for the TM Forum Intent Ontology, which is super exciting! It includes 56 node shapes and 69 property shapes that cover all 15 modules of the tio v3.6.0 ontology. Plus, it has a reusable library with 25 SPARQL-based components. What’s cool is that it introduces fresh validation methods for recursive logic, quantity constraints, and cross-expectation relationships. It also fully covers the vocabulary with 87 classes, 109 properties, and 72 functions, making sure it works with three top SHACL engines. This development really helps operators check the accuracy of their intents before they go live.
Key facts
