Re: Selected problems with Proposal 4

The example that I refer to is:

  ex:exampleShape a sh:Shape ;
    ex:example [ ex:predicate ex:p ; ex:lang "de" ; ex:lang "en" ] .

Is this using the same mechanism? (Hmmm. This could be an erroneous 
example, no?)

I'm asking for examples that do not use sh:class, to understand how else 
this might be used. Thanks.
