shapes-ISSUE-180 (Path bnodes): Should IRI paths always be interpreted as predicates? [SHACL - Core] http://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/track/issues/180 Raised by: Holger Knublauch On product: SHACL - Core Currently we have the policy that all elements of a Path in RDF syntax may be IRI nodes, and only if a node is neither of sh:inversePath etc then a IRI is regarded as a PredicatePath. See rules 1. - 4. in https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/#path-syntax However, this leads to complications e.g. as outlined in 2.3.5 of the current editor's draft. I think it would be easier to have a policy that all IRI paths are counted as PredicatePaths, i.e. all complex paths such as inverse paths must be IRIs. This is also related to the public comment mentioned in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-shapes/2016Sep/0031.html because with the new policy it would be clearer to describe how a "deep copy" is supposed to work.
