SHACL with RDF Datasets

Hi all,

I'm wondering whether there's been any new thoughts or development to this[original email](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-shacl/2019Jul/0003.html)around extending SHACL to work with RDF datasets.

My use case is to acquire values that satisfy both thesh:class​ andsh:node​ definitions from a specific named graph and use these values in a SHACL UI autocomplete widget. I'm usingshx:targetGraph​ from[Extending SHACL to RDF Datasets](https://afs.github.io/shacl-datasets.html). Please see the example property shape below.

Currently, SHACL operates on a single data graph. Without RDF dataset support, implementing a general SHACL UI tool capable of editing data across data graphs becomes challenging.

Would extending SHACL to support RDF datasets be a candidate for the next SHACL version?

Alternatively, is there another technique or approach I could consider?

Looking forward to any thoughts or suggestions!

Cheers,

Edmond
