ISSUE-112: SHACL uses rdfs:label and rdfs:comment in ways that violate their intended RDFS meaning

misuse of some RDFS properties

SHACL uses rdfs:label and rdfs:comment in ways that violate their intended RDFS meaning

State:
CLOSED
Product:
SHACL Spec
Raised by:
Peter Patel-Schneider
Opened on:
2015-11-05
Description:
From http://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl/:

Property constraints may have an rdfs:label to provide a human-readable label for the property in the scope where it appears.

From http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/

rdfs:label is an instance of rdf:Property that may be used to provide a human-readable version of a resource's name. A triple of the form: R rdfs:label L . states that L is a human readable label for R.

The SHACL use does not abide by the RDFS meaning. SHACL should not use RDFS properties in ways that violate their RDFS meaning.

Similarly for rdfs:comment.


PROPOSAL: Remove the non-conforming wording for and uses of rdfs:label and rdfs:commment.

Related notes:

RESOLUTION: Close ISSUE-112 by *within constraint* Use sh:name and sh:description for the property and rdfs:label and rdfs:comment for the constraint, renaming the issue to be specifically about rfs:label and rdfs:comment
