| [rdf4j-dev] SHACL rule inference |
| Hi, I have a general question about what is the best approach for handling inheritance in SHACL rules. ############################ sh:targetClass ex:Person ; sh:property [ sh:path ex:address ; sh:or ( [ sh:datatype xsd:string ; ] [ sh:class ex:Address ; ] ) ] . ############################ The sh:path ex:address gets inherited into each part of the sh:or. So it’s equivalent to the following: ############################ sh:targetClass ex:Person ; sh:or ( [ sh:path ex:address ; sh:datatype xsd:string ; ] [ sh:path ex:address ; sh:class ex:Address ; ] ) . ############################ And even though there is no example in the SHACL documentation, and this entire part of the spec is fairly poorly defined, I presume the following is equivalent too: ############################ sh:targetClass ex:Person ; sh:property [ sh:or ( [ sh:path ex:address ; sh:datatype xsd:string ; ] [ sh:path ex:address ; sh:class ex:Address ; ] ) ] . ############################ ############################ ############################ Question is. How should I handle this in RDF4J? - Should I implement this as Java code in the SHACL engine. - Should I wrap the SHACL rule sail in the CustomGraphQueryInferencer - Should I just run a SPARQL query myself to forward chain it?
