Re: on ontologies/vocabulary

Here is the revised wording, as far as I can tell:

The same mechanism applies for ontologies and vocabularies, or simply schemas.
A schema can suggest which shapes graphs should be used for validating data
graphs that use the schema and SHACL processors MAY use this information. This
suggestion is instantiated in the schema documents where every value for the
property sh:shapesGraph denotes a suggested shapes graph. When the schema is
identified by a schema IRI or a version IRI, this IRI SHOULD be the subject of
these triples.

The problem is still that SHACL does not have a notion of ontologies or
vocabularies or schema for data graphs.  All that a SHACL processor gets is an
RDF graph.  This is in contrast with shapes graphs, where owl:imports may be
used to combine multiple shapes graphs.
