shapes-ISSUE-61 (Direction of sh:nodeShape): Direction of individual scoping: sh:nodeShape vs. sh:individualScope [SHACL Spec]
http://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/track/issues/61
Raised by: Holger Knublauch
On product: SHACL Spec
The SHACL spec currently defines property sh:nodeShape that points from a resource to the shape(s) that it should be validated against. E.g.
ex:MyPerson
sh:nodeShape ex:PersonShape .
Peter's proposal has an intermediate object (of type sh:Constraint) that represents such linkage, e.g.
ex:MyConstraint
sh:individualScope ex:MyPerson ;
sh:shape ex:PersonShape .
(Peter correct me if this is wrong).
We should agree on one mechanism. My belief is that the sh:nodeShape is the more natural and more compact way of representing this, and better aligns with Linked Data principles (how could the system discover a stand-alone constraint at another URI?).
A related question is whether sh:nodeShape would be expected to be in the Shapes Graph (I don't think so).
