Re: S36 implementation details

Hi Antoine!

I just noticed this item in the TopBraid 5.1.0 release notes [1]:

- Feature: Added SHACL library for SKOS constraints.

So apparently SHACL rules for SKOS constraints have already been 
developed (by TopQuadrant I assume). Which is maybe not a big surprise, 
since they've had SPIN rules for SKOS for quite some time and SHACL is 
in some ways a successor of SPIN (with TopQuadrant represented in the 
SHACL WG) and SKOS ICs were also one of the initial use cases for SHACL [2].
