Re: shapes-ISSUE-130 (rdf dataset assumption): SHACL should not assume that the data graph is in an RDF dataset [SHACL Spec]

An RDF dataset is a purely conceptual entity. Many APIs implement 
Dataset. Any Graph can be wrapped into a Dataset for execution, even if 
that Dataset is just virtual and only has a single graph in it.

The objects of this predicate must be IRI nodes, pointing at a named graph in the dataset. Tools may use this information to determine which shapes graph to use for validation. If present, tools SHOULD transitively follow any links from the shapes graph via the predicate owl:imports to other graphs and use the resulting union graph as parameter to the validation process."""
