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

Found it, https://www.w3.org/2015/08/27-shapes-minutes.html#resolution03
the resolution does not say this but iirc the discussion (which is not 100%
scribed) was talking about bnodes and how they can be identified with a
remote call vs in-memory.
ARQ and Sesame do something clever with bnodes which is not the case for
all sparql engines but I am not trying to re-open the old issue, only
trying to close this one using that resolution

I propose we close this issue as: SHACL does not assume that the data graph
is an RDF dataset as addressed by the current editor's draft
This of course allows people to use datasets but SHACL doesn't take any
special care in this case
