"Just what are shapes?

The terminology section says:

"Shape
A shape is a node in a shapes graph that is typically a SHACL instance of
sh:Shape. A shape provides a collection of targets, filters, constraints and
parameters of constraint components that specify how a data graph is
validated against the shape. Shapes can also provide non-validating
information, such as labels and comments."

Section 2 says:

"Shapes define constraints that a set of focus nodes can be validated
against."

This doesn't, however, provide guidance in determining what the shapes in a
shapes graph are."
