While we require that SPARQL is made part of the official standard, LDOM also includes a notion of "profiles" - essentially a catalog of templates such as cardinality + valueType + valueShape. Many applications will chose to only support such light profiles and they can perfectly do so, similar to how OWL has different profiles. As I had outlined in my proposal on ending the controversies, it will be fine for ShEx-like engines to evaluate LDOM shape declarations without any SPARQL at all. IBM had similar requirements for their OSLC scenarios. Holger
