v0.28.0 - 2024-10-23

Added

• owl:imports now works with bnode values, where it contains the following:
  • schema:url is the string where to find the imported ontology
  • schema:url (again) with a "file://" path, to a local copy of the ontology
  • schema:identifier that is the canonical name to use for the ontology at load time (this is the publicID)
• RDFUtil.loader load_from_source function now supports identifier that is akin to the publicID of the file being
  loaded, and that is passed to RDFLib parser to correctly do relative URIs, etc.

Changed

• Big change to how Milti-graph datasets (ie, rdflib.ConjunctiveGraph and rdflib.Dataset) are handled.
  • Instead of validating each named graph individually, PySHACL now sets defaultUnion=True and
    now validates the entire Dataset at once.
  • This allows you to logically segment your dataset as desired into many individual named graphs, and validation
    will still work as you expect it to.
  • This is in preparation for another big upcoming change in pySHACL that will allow OWL-RL inferencing to place
    inferred triples into a separate named graph, and SHACL Rules to place inferred triples into a separate named graph,
    and validation will still work as expected because validation is now against a union of the whole dataset.
• Pre-Compile Regexs in sh:Pattern constraints. This allows faster re-use of the constraint, if is applied to
  many different targets.

Fixed

• Attempting to stringify a focus_node ar a value_node from the datagraph, where that node doesn't actually exist in
  the datagraph, no longer crashes, it falls back to a different method.
