The XKOS Best Practices shapes are splitted in 2 files : shapes to check for (strict) XKOS conformance, and shapes to check for recommended practices. This file provides the rules to check for conformance, and as such contains shapes with sh:severity of sh:Violation. Users can use either the strict XKOS conformance rules or the strict conformance rules in conjunction with the recommended practices depending on their objective.
