Re: In search of value shapes

using nested NodeShapes called in with sh:node gives a result that is very
close, but lacks clarity in the report:

Given our old friend Bob:
ex:Bob
    a schema:Person ;
    schema:givenName "Robert" ;
    schema:familyName "Junior" ;
    schema:birthDate "1971-07-07x"^^xsd:string ;
    schema:deathDate "1968-09-10"^^xsd:date ;

and the shacl rules
schema:DateTimeNodeShape
    a sh:NodeShape ;
    sh:or (
        [ sh:datatype xsd:dateTime ]
        [ sh:datatype xsd:date ]
        [
            sh:datatype xsd:string ;
            sh:pattern
            "^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}(T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}[0-9+Z-]*)?$" ;
            ]
        ) ;
    sh:name "dateTime" ;
    sh:message "date must be xsd:date, xsd:dateTime or xsd:string in ISO
format, eg 2018-12-18T12:00:00.000+0500" ;
    sh:severity sh:Warning ;
    .

schema:PersonShape
    a sh:NodeShape ;
    sh:targetClass schema:Person ;
       sh:property [
        sh:path schema:birthDate ;
        sh:node schema:DateTimeNodeShape ;
        sh:lessThan schema:deathDate ;
        sh:maxCount 1 ;
    ] ;
.

A violation of sh:Warning in the DateTimeNodeShape and it's sh:message are
ignored, and the UI would receive the unhelpful report

[
a sh:ValidationResult ;
sh:resultSeverity sh:Violation ;
sh:sourceConstraintComponent sh:NodeConstraintComponent ;
sh:sourceShape _:n396 ;
sh:focusNode <http://example.org/ns#Bob> ;
sh:value "1971-07-07x" ;
sh:resultPath schema:birthDate ;
sh:resultMessage "Value does not have shape schema:DateTimeNodeShape" ;
] .

ps -- thanks for spotting the +-Z slip in the regex; my datasets never
crossed this, but clearly +Z- is what was meant ;)
