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

RDFUnit does work on endpoints but it's not a complete shacl
implementation.

In short, i see filters and qualified cardinality as the main problem for
enabling shacl on sparql endpoints.
Filters could be evaluated after the constraints as Peter noted in another
thread but haven't found a way for QCs yet.

Peter, do you have any suggestions for handling QCs in this case?

In any case this is independent of this issue and related to the
$shapesGraph variable resolution.
$shapesGraph is optional and people who use it outside of core will be
aware that they are not interoperable.
