Abstract

Automated Compliance Checking (ACC) has emerged as a critical tool for enforcing legal regulations across various domains. This paper contributes to ongoing research in Semantic Web technologies, particularly focusing on the execution of SHACL-SPARQL rules on RDF data. The RDF, being one of the most...
