Re: "shape" as a relationship, not a class

Some of the predicates in the RDF and RDFS namespaces are indeed different
from other predicates.  These predicates have built-in meaning in RDF or
RDFS.   Whether this makes them fundamentally different from other
predicates depends on what is meant by fundamental.

At the low end of fundamental, you have answered your own question  The
predicate rdf:type is fundamentally different from other predicates because
it is the predicate for typing.
