Validate a dataset description via URL

Enter a URL of a page containing a schema.org/Dataset or schema.org/DataCatalog (inline JSON-LD or direct RDF) to access it via the Datasetregister API validate. It is then checked that the found dataset description (or dataset descriptions) meet the dataset requirements. The validate is performed on the basis of a SHACL file. If the dataset found on the URL is not satisfactory, the result of the SHACL validation is displayed.

The dataset description (or catalog) is not saved or added to the Dataset Register. A URL of a dataset description published online can be registered via the Submit page. If the dataset description is not yet online, paste the RDF of the dataset description into the direct validation page.
