+.TH SORD_VALIDATE 1 "21 Mar 2012"
+
+.SH NAME
+.B sord_validate \- Validate RDF data
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+sord_validate INPUT...
+
+This is a simple validator which checks that all used properties are actually
+defined, and that the domain and range of properties is explicitly correct.
+Note that an "error" from this program does not necessarily mean data is
+invalid, since it is not required to explicitly list types in RDF, however it
+is a good idea to do so. If data type definitions are available with an
+xsd:pattern property, literals with that datatype will be checked against the
+xsd:pattern (a regular expresssion) to ensure they are valid.
+
+This program does not retrieve any data from the web or magical places on the
+file system. It only processes files passed directly on the command line.
+This means you must pass all used vocabularies to get a useful result.
