ISSUE-40: sh:min/max constrains properties, not values

Property Cardinality

sh:min/max constrains properties, not values

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Raised by:
Karen Coyle
Opened on:
2015-04-05
Description:
The spec at https://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl/ currently reads:

"The properties sh:minCount and sh:maxCount restrict the number of values of the given property at the focus node."

It should read:
"The properties sh:minCount and sh:maxCount restrict the cardinality of properties of the focus node."

The cardinality of the value of a triple is always min=1 max=1. It is the cardinality of the properties in the node that can be constrained, e.g.

sh:property [
sh:predicate foaf:name ;
sh:minCount 1 ;
sh:maxCount 1 ]
