Because they are not classes...I could repeat the same arguments that we
had in other threads...

Of course, this particular example could be modeled with classes, but the
point is if it can be modeled with shapes. A larger example is again the
statistical linked data portals, where Observations are linked to Datasets,
Datasets to Slices and Slices to Observations...

The question is if it is to possible to model this kind of interlinked (and
recursive) shapes. I think Peter's example also belongs to this category.
