Description: 
        # Synthetic RDF graph generator based on SHACL constraints.
        
        ### rdf_shacl_generator is a Python package that can be used to generate RDF graphs based on SHACL constraints.
        
        The following function can be used to generate RDF data:
        
        __generate_rdf(file1, file2, number_of_entities)__
        - file1 is a turtle file that contains SHACL shapes.
        - file2 is a turtle file that will store the generated RDF entities
        - number_of_entities is the number of RDF entities to be generated.

        Link on GitHub: https://github.com/mveco/RDF_generator
        
        Installation: 
        
        ```pip install rdf-shacl-generator```
        
        After installation, this package can be used as a command line tool:
        
        ```rdfgen file1 file2 number_of_entities```
        
        ### Examples
        Examples of SHACL Shapes based on Schema.org types can be found in the generated_examples\shape_examples directory in the GitHub repo,
        along with generated RDF data samples for these Shapes (in the generated_examples\generated_rdf directory) .
        
        ### Remarks:
        - A SHACL shape has to have a 'a sh:NodeShape' property and object in order to be recognized as a Node Shape.
        - sh:severity is ignored because it has no useful info.
        - SHACL Property Paths are not supported
        - sh:datatype can have many different values, not all are recognized.
        - sh:nodeKind is ignored
        - The triples generated based on properties with a sh:minCount constraint can sometimes have a smaller value than the defined minimum count. This is because sometimes the generator generates the same triple multiple times.
