Ok clear...so owl only offers in the end some more (global) semantic sugar here....I assume the uncontrained property sec IS still globally available as rdf:property, right? (and just locally/atclass RESTRICTED)

Yes, defining an rdf:Property is part of RDF/Schema. Also declaring rdfs:label and rdfs:comment. SHACL has per-shape equivalents for these (sh:name, sh:description).

ØGreat summary! 😊



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.

>well so far the distinction between attributes/datatypeproperties and relationships/objectproperties has proven useful since they in the end say something about intrinsic properties of things and the more role-based extrinsic properties towards other independent things which is a quite basic notion in conceptual modelling not only in LD/SW but in any other earlier modelling system. But always interesting of course to rethink….

On the owl:Datatype/ObjectProperty topic, why would sh:datatype/sh:class/sh:nodeKind not be sufficient? The only difference is that the latter are per-shape, which is similar to how most other languages such as UML or XML handle these things - the concept of global property declarations are pretty unique to semantic web technology. But for a tool there is little difference on whether you check (in SPARQL)

?property a owl:DatatypeProperty

vs

?ps sh:path ?property .
?ps sh:nodeKind sh:Literal .

Note that even the former case (in OWL) is not sufficient - you would still need to add code to query for the cases of untyped properties or properties that have rdf:type rdf:Property and then declare an rdfs:range or owl:allValuesFrom restrictions. The SHACL variant looks more pragmatic compared to that.
