Raised by: Richard Cyganiak
On product: SHACL Spec

It looks like SHACL will be split into two parts:

1) A high-level “Core/Lite” language consisting of things like cardinality constraints, datatype constraints, conjunctions and disjunctions
2) An extension mechanism that relies on embedded expressions in a more expressive language

Do constraints defined using 2) become part of the high-level language, that is, can they be used in nested expressions like conjunctions and disjunctions? Or do they stand “outside” the high-level language and are directly associated with classes/individuals/etc?
