Re: type and instance and subclass in SHACL documents

Hi Peter, I did some research on other w3c specs regarding the term
instance.

if we changed occurrences of instance from e.g.
"shapes are the instances of sh:Shape" to
"sh:Shape is the class of all shapes"
would this be fine from your side?

Some cases like sh:class and sh:classScope would need extra care of course.
