Note that the ShEx [1] JSON variant (ShExJ) was just changed to JSON-LD, and there are a number of implementations. ShEx handles the same use cases as SHACL, but makes implementation much easier.

There are a couple of places that shape matching could come in handy:

* For validating the Hydra documentation
* As a way to specify the expected shape of a Hydra Operation
  * Client-side to formulate the operation
  * Server-side to validate the operation
* For performing before/after analysis of the target. (LD-Patch could also come in handy here).
