# Introduction # {#intro}

*This section is non-normative*

The objective is to enhance the SHACL ontology to cater specifically to the UI use cases for application development and data exploration.
It covers viewing, editing and filtering RDF data.
Interfaces for reusable UI components should be established.
To achieve this, we aim for implementations to rely on the SHACL ontology and the UI extension, enabling them to select UI components and generate layouts.
The foundation for this will be the existing DASH ontology.
The defined interfaces will enable seamless communication between implementations and UI components, enabling efficient viewing, editing or filtering of RDF data.
Whenever feasible, we will utilize other RDF/JS specifications.
