[rdf4j-dev] SHACL and checking rdfs:Resource

["Bart Hanssens (BOSA)" <bart.hanssens@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

A quick question about the SHACL validator in 3.0-snapshot, or SHACL In general

I’ve noticed that the new EU DCAT-AP 1.2 has a few shapes with a class constraint like

 

sh:path …

sh:class rdfs:Resource

sh…

 

which IMHO does not make sense (since rdfs:Resource is, well, anything…),

but the validator does seem to generate a violation if this class is not explicitly set.

 

So would it be appropriate to just ignore this rule in the validator ? Or am I missing something here ?

 

 

Best regards
