Please note
It is advisable to carefully examine the messages returned at the end of the validation to correct any critical issues before the publication of the resource.
Outcome "Error"

Note:
Quando viene rivelato un errore, il validatore mostrerà un messaggio dettagliato, indicante:
- La riga e la colonna in cui si è verificato il problema;
- Una breve descrizione dell’errore rilevato.
Inoltre, sarà possibile scaricare la lista completa degli errori riscontrati, utile per effettuare un’analisi approfondita e correggere il file Turtle.

"Waring" outcome
During validation, in addition to errors, the validator can also report warnings, or warnings that indicate potential problems or shortcomings in the Turtle file.
Note:
The list of warnings shows the detected problems that, while not preventing the validation of the document, can compromise the completeness or correctness of the metadata. Each warning provides information including:
- The URI of the resource involved;
- The missing or unrecognized property;
- The resource to which the problem refers.
