I made a draft of the usage note in response to Dave McComb's comment, and I wrote to him to socialize that. Here is my draft. It is quite short, and modeled on the RDFS paragraph that's already there. Since we *aren't* using OWL inferencing, it is a lot shorter. A related topic - the only reference to OWL that we make in shacl.ttl is to owl:Ontology. Is there a way to make SHACL completely non-dependent on OWL? Do we even need to declare an owl:Ontology in shacl.ttl? Part of the motivation for not declaring things as annotation properties is that we aren't using OWL. And we really aren't; we never actually define any entity that is a member of a class in the OWL namespace (except the one owl:Ontology at the top). Dean
