The treatment of sh:allowedValues in the SHACL draft [1][2] requires that shapes and data be in the same graph, as it relies on querying the sh:member triples.

An alternative would be to pass the allowed values in as pre-bound variables, as done for other constructs. But there is the complication that it’s more than one.

Another alternative would be to do something with RDF datasets.
