There will be SPARQL-based implementations of SHACL, and these implementations will include the ability to use the raw SPARQL construct of SHACL. If other implementations of SHACL do not implement this part of SHACL, then all that that means is that these implementations cannot avail themselves of this useful feature. Users can always switch to an implementation that does support this part of SHACL, and thus "SPARQL is always a fallback" for them. peter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVaFhpAAoJECjN6+QThfjzSOAH/0hApr0UVk+LeGEI7kEIBsDy 1yYEwxegkXhRgJO/Qw9xHOetHKthd/G7PYVsGyRhPrH511GuDww3Pb2lGj79dKJk NN/13Ui32AmM45PZ05uOosUNt7WznkY8WASgtjCZrOByC/YtlrWH9SOIJyS4yaPD tzLkmLU+Fr/Vtbt8fHwjKf08j+hVonRItUM1ypSHggNMYVGQEAJgglK8kzfjcMx8 Rct8E9QuiacBzSgj6fbv9qP9ICq4xGwRWRvwq5mbufpUjyGTi59rdRwF3lVj91q0 f/KozaIYhUsJnJyFw6dm2IdEEkQLz068ArjkQyRcf5TPfSEdm3x6NlMt/WFwu8Q= =LLI9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
