Re: Overriding rules in sub-classes

Gary,

Not sure this is the best solution, but you could probably define a custom
SPARQL-based target type (https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl-af/#SPARQLTargetType),
say schema:OrganizationOnly, that uses SPARQL to pick members of
schema:Organization that are not members of schema:LocalBusiness. Then you
could write two constraints - one targeting schema:OrganizationOnly, and
one targeting schema:LocalBusiness.
