There are two OSLC mechanisms for defining a set of related shapes: 1. A service, e.g. a URL where you can POST requests to create new resources, may link to one or more shape resources using oslc:resourceShape 2. A resource shape may contain links to one or more other resource shapes associated with the values of properties using oslc:valueShape Yes, this means that OSLC resource shapes can only describe OO-like connected graphs. That is a limitation which I pointed out in [1]. I hope this WG will define a spec that can handle disconnected graphs. [1] http://www.w3.org/Submission/shapes/#disconnected-graphs
