description: The Shape Expressions (ShEx) language describes RDF nodes and graph structures.
  A node constraint describes an RDF node (IRI, blank node or literal) and a shape
  describes the triples involving nodes in an RDF graph. These descriptions identify
  predicates and their associated cardinalities and datatypes. ShEx shapes can be
  used to communicate data structures associated with some process or interface, generate
  or validate data, or drive user interfaces.
