Ok, why not. I have dumped a SHACL file for W3C Data Cubes into

     https://github.com/w3c/shacl/tree/master/shapes

This file didn't have a proper place yet and should ideally be owned by 
someone who knows Data Cubes better than I do. But it's a start to show 
what is possible with SHACL. Once again, contributions welcome, I am 
just "donating" this here.

BTW at TopQuadrant we already have 100+ SHACL files, many of which in 
production. Some of these are product-specific but we plan to publish 
some of them in the future. However we'll do this on their own 
namespaces, since a central repository of SHACL files does not really 
reflect the spirit of the semantic web. A central list of links would 
certainly be valuable.
