ISSUE-114: Should SHACL include a grouping mechanism of properties (for UI purposes)

Property Groups

Should SHACL include a grouping mechanism of properties (for UI purposes)

State:

CLOSED

Product:

SHACL - UI

Raised by:

Description:

If shapes are used to describe form layouts, it is in my experience a common requirement to group related properties together. Examples include "Labels and Descriptions", "Class Axioms", "(SKOS) Concept Relationships". UI builders could use such structured information to produce sections. The groups could be ordered by themselves, and properties such as sh:order could be applied to the properties within a group.

A possible, minimally disruptive, design would be

ex:SKOSRelationsGroup
a sh:PropertyGroup ;
sh:order 0 ;
rdfs:label "Concept Relationships"@en .

ex:MyShape
a sh:Shape ;
sh:scopeClass skos:Concept ;
sh:property [
sh:predicate skos:broader ;
sh:order 0 ;
sh:group ex:SKOSRelationsGroup ;
] ;
sh:property [
sh:predicate skos:narrower ;
sh:order 1 ;
sh:group ex:SKOSRelationsGroup ;
] .

Any of these properties would be entirely optional, as usual.
