Re: DC TAP now a draft

Thanks a lot for the heads up, Karen!

Reading the documents, there is a point not completely clear to me,
namely, what a "shape" is intended to be in DC TAP - in particular,
when applied to an RDF vocabulary. Is it a class (in the RDF sense)? a
constraint (in the SHACL sense)? both?

I think one of the reasons for my confusion concerns the examples,
where shapes are denoted by literals (courses, tutors, etc.), whereas
properties by IRIs from vocabularies as Dublin Core, FOAF, etc.
