My understanding is that the semantics of the following shape is that every 
individual related to a ex:Work through ex:subject must be a member of ALL 
of the classes listed. Am I wrong to think this?

sh:property [
      sh:path ex:subject ;
      sh:target ex:Work ;
      sh:class ex:Instance ;
      sh:class ex:Item ;
      sh:class ex:Temporal ;
      sh:class ex:Work ;
      sh:class ex:Event ;
      sh:class ex:Language ;
      sh:class ex:Concept ;
      sh:class ex:Location ;
      sh:class ex:Agent ;
] .

Based on the examples I've seen, using sh:in seems to be reserved for 
listing individuals. Am I wrong to think this? For example is it permitted 
to construct the following shape using sh:in for classes?

sh:property [
      sh:path ex:subject ;
      sh:target ex:Work ;
      sh:in ( ex:Work ex:Instance ex:Item ex:Temporal ex:Event ex:Language 
ex:Concept ex:Location ex:Agent ) ;

] .

My use cases are to be able to say in a dataset only these types of things 
can be the subject of a work AND to build a form that narrows the types of 
things that can be the subject of a ex:Work.


Any help to understand how to say these types of constraints using SHACL 
would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Steven
