These schemas and shapes help ensure that data about assets, NFTs, and other entities adhere to the required structure and constraints.

Examples

​
Futureverse

This example defines the core classes and their hierarchies within the Futureverse framework. These definitions create a hierarchy where fv:Asset is the root, and the more specific classes like fv:NFT and fv:SFT inherit from it. Each of these asset types can be further categorized into on-chain or off-chain, depending on where the asset data is stored.

TNL Boxer

This example defines a specific instance of an OnChainNFT, called Boxer, using SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language).

TNX Boxer properties

  1. sh:property:
    • The sh:property construct defines constraints on a particular property of a node. Inside each sh:property block, you specify details about the property, such as its path, type, cardinality, and more.
  2. sh:maxCount and sh:minCount:
    • sh:maxCount 1: This specifies that the property can have at most one value. It’s used to enforce uniqueness or singularity of a particular property in a node.
    • sh:minCount 0: This means that the property is optional (it can have zero values). If this were set to 1, the property would be required.
    Together, these constraints define a property that is optional but can only occur once if present.
  3. sh:class asm:Brain:
    • The sh:class property is used to enforce that the value of the property must be of a specific RDF class, in this case, asm:Brain. This ensures that the value of asm:equippedWith_brain must be an instance of the asm:Brain class.
  4. Targeting Multiple Classes with sh:class:
    • You can target multiple classes by listing them in a comma-separated list within the sh:class property. For example: 
      sh:class fv:Gloves, fv:Mittens ;
      This specifies that the property can be an instance of either fv:Gloves or fv:Mittens.
  5. sh:path Property:
    • The sh:path statement indicates the exact RDF property within your data model that is subject to the constraints defined in the SHACL shape. 
      sh:path asm:equippedWith_brain ;
      In this case, asm:equippedWith_brain is the RDF property that the shape is describing. This property might represent a relationship where a Boxer is equipped with a Brain.

ASM Brain

This example defines Brain as a specialized type of OnChainNFT, inheriting properties and constraints from its parent classes.

this:Brain a fv:OnChainNft, sh:NodeShape ; 
    rdfs:subClassOf fv:OnChainNft;.
