Agreed, 'opposite way' referred to the direction, please replace it to
'inverse relation'.

of properties to inform an execution engine about which constraints to run,
if people find that helpful. Instead of making it appear the "opposite" I'd
encourage you to think about the commonalities and how to harvest and merge
the best ideas from all approaches.

I already mentioned (in the previous public list) that RDFUnit is closer to
SPIN than all the other proposals. There are many differences in the
semantics and workflow but still closer. Apart from the wrong choice of
wording, this is all I did, "give input to this WG on how we deal this with
RDFUnit in case it is of interest".
