Audience skills
What skills are expected/required from our audience?
- State:
- CLOSED

- Description:
- We've started discussing who the audience for Shapes is but have not discussed what skills the audience is expected to have.
We can assume general understanding of the basic RDF data model but what about RDFS, SPARQL, and OWL? Can we expect users of Shapes to be expert in these? Anything else?

Related notes:
I believe the question is not only what skills we can expect, but rather how to attract people who do not have the necessary full skills without blocking out the advanced users. The approach suggested by SPIN is to have a high-level language based on Templates, where people just need to fill in the blanks, e.g. "cardinality", and then to have the full power of SPARQL for the more complex cases. We should not limit the usefulness of Shapes to the lowest common denominator only because not everyone knows SPARQL. And if not SPARQL, then what else?
