Thanks again Karen,  I updated
<https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes/commit/1d8b815fb4d95b314e4d7659a409ce3d635cbe4a>
all "shape graph" occurrences to "shapes graph"

Would it be "instance shape" or "instance shapes"?


I'd rather avoid that, it will get us back in the "shacl vs rdfs instance"
discussion

Thanks,
Dimitris
