A community survey was conducted, targeting a diverse group of RDF validation technology users across academia and industry. The survey collected data on current practices, tool usage, perceived benefits, limitations, and desired enhancements to gain a broad overview of the validation landscape. Our analysis shows that while RDF validation is widely adopted and valued for enhancing data quality, significant challenges remain. In particular, users report a need for better documentation, improved tool support, enhanced performance, and greater language expressiveness to handle complex large-scale validation tasks effectively. This work provides crucial insights into the RDF validation landscape, highlighting current practices and key areas for development. It offers a foundation for researchers, developers, and standardization bodies to address current limitations and advance validation technologies, ultimately improving data quality and usability in knowledge graphs.","short_abstract":"This paper examines RDF validation practices and challenges to understand stakeholder applications, their needs, and identify areas for improvement in technologies and methodologies, thereby guiding future research and standardization efforts.
