Irene, You understand exactly. SHACL should support general, disconnected graphs. However, OSLC Resource Shapes does not. It assumes there is an initial root node and only let's you express constraints that are rooted at nodes that can be reached from the initial root node by traversing properties in the forward direction. SHACL must avoid this limitation. -- Arthur On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 6:10 PM, Irene Polikoff <irene@topquadrant.com> wrote: > <It > illustrates a real-world example where one cannot navigate from a > starting node to all other nodes.> > > I am not quite sure what is special about this concept.
