As a slightly more serious response, I agree that URIs from the OWL namespace may be useful even without OWL semantics. owl:imports is clearly useful, and even referenced by the SHACL spec. owl:versionInfo and the deprecation mechanisms can be useful, but they don't carry OWL semantics. Whether owl:DatatypeProperty and owl:ObjectProperty provide value is a matter of debate. I believe as long as there are sh:class and sh:datatype or sh:nodeKind constraints in place, then there is no need for them. I am not fond of global property axioms in general, but that's another topic.

Maybe there is value in going through the ways that people have used OWL so far and verify how many of them were really designed for OWL (DL) inferencing. Maybe you have examples of axioms in your world, that you could share here so that we can see what would be left that isn't covered by SHACL or other non-OWL vocabularies.

Thx Holger, for the argumentation (SoC)!

Just….

I could see a scenario in future where in CWA-area OWL could be fully replaced by SHACL (ie retire OWL). Because there are no dependencies as you explain below there are certainly no technical restraints for something like that.

But then…..aren’t we losing more that we want? Clearly we want to replace OWA Restrictions to SHACL Shapes. But what about eg the distinction in datatype properties and object properties and other very useful OWL modelling constructs…ie wouldn’t there be a need for an OWL Light or RDFS+ to combine cleanly with SHACL then?

Thanks very much for your views again,

Michel

The pros are that users that don't want/need to use OWL don't have to import these axioms, and thus the RDF files that you are producing are more focused - think of separation of concerns, which is generally a good engineering practice. SHACL doesn't need OWL, OWL doesn't need SHACL, so there is no reason to stack them on top of each other. If projects plan ahead they can also more easily retire any part of their stack that is no longer needed. Finally, having OWL axioms around may create false expectations or confuse the view point from a SHACL perspective (although the axioms are technically ignored, users may expect inferencing to happen).

    Sure, that should work without problems. The suggested split is
    mostly for new projects that are under your control.

        Dear Irene, Holger

        In http://spinrdf.org/shacl-and-owl.html it is suggested to
        have the following ‘architecture’:

        <image002.png>

        Would I lose much benefit when I simplify a bit by just having
        OWL/RDFS (with owl/rdfs owa inferencing) on top and (several)
        SHACL views (with shacl cwa validation and inferencing (rule
        part)) below. (I just mention ‘several’because typically there
        are more validation-views possible working on the same
        conceptual owl-view). Just looking for pros and cons. One of
        the reasons is that in practically all existing ontologies
        relevant for us do not have the split yet in rdfs and owl…just
        an example: a very recent proposal that I really like:
        https://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/, is in OWL-DL. I want to
        directly reuse and pref. not split first in a RDFS part and an
        OWL-DL part.

        Thx for your advice here,

        Michel
