The SPHN Schema Forge simplifies the process of generating a SPHN-compliant RDF schema, human-readable HTML representation of the RDF schema as well as SHACL shapes and SPARQL queries for data quality checks. It allows researchers to easily create those resources by only uploading a SPHN-compliant dataset in Excel format (template and user guide ). In case of unexpected errors don't hesitate to contact us via our Git Issues.

Please upload a SPHN-compliant dataset (.xlsx):
