This Shapes graph does not import into or alter the data it is evaluating so will not affect an organisation's information if applied to it, only report on its SHACL Core validity. It will also not automatically export results anywhere beyond a SHACL processor's standard output channel.
For these reasons, this content is expected to present minimal security and privacy concerns.
The shapes graph of SHACL-SHACL is available as an RDF resource at http://www.w3.org/ns/shacl-shacl.
Many people contributed to this document, including members of the RDF Data Shapes Working Group.
SHACL 1.0 included the total information about SHACL-SHACL inline, within an Appendix, consisting of an introductory paragraph and the SHACL-SHACL RDF data only. SHACL 1.2 has dedicated this entire Note to define and describe SHACL-SHACL.
A reference to this Note is retained in SHACL 1.2 Core.
