Very interesting, I'll have a look and try to find out where ShEx 
statements would go in a hydra document.

@Gregg can you comment a bit about the relationship between SHACL and 
ShEx? Just two competing specs?

BTW, if someone reads the primer and wonders why they didn't write it in 
ShExJ, there is a radio button somewhere at the bottom of the section 
https://shexspec.github.io/primer/index.html#validation which allows you 
to switch representations. Or press the J key on your keyboard :-)

Best,
