Hi Hugo,

Thanks for sharing that impressive work!

Two quick comments/questions, which may help others to read the material (if you simplify the data shown there)

- why would I have to see all these cardinality shapes where the min cardinality is 0? This carries absolutely no new information to me.
I'd suggest to remove all the 'mincount 0' statements. And to remove the shapes that only have such statements.

- dc:subject doesn't fit very well for the link between a shape and a requirement. I'd just go for dc:related for the time being. So that we don't focus too much on discussing the nature of this link for now :-)

When I shared it for the first time, we had only implemented the constraints for edm:ProvidedCHO, but know it is complete… (also a note that all shapes are now defined as closed shapes). However, it may still suffer some changes in the coming days. Btw, I have created a section on the main page [1] with my experience using SHACL explaining the limitations and possible improvements.

I had initially created it to help myself, so that I could make sure that everything was being linked and defined correctly (unfortunately, the Java implementation does not complain when I make mistakes), with correct IDs, complete metadata, but quickly proved to be a much more interesting way to view, navigate and manage the definitions.

This was also something that we had discussed on past meetings.
