I think the abstract of SHACL Rules should not mention shapes. Accordingly, I would shorten the abstract as follows (since it is short, I prefer to include it here rather than proposing the changes directly in "Files changed"): This document defines SHACL Rules. SHACL, the Shapes Constraint Language, is a language for describing the structure of RDF graphs. SHACL may be used for a variety of purposes such as validating, inferencing, modeling domains, generating ontologies to inform other agents, building user interfaces, generating code, and integrating data. SHACL Rules provides inferencing with the generation of new RDF data from a combination of a set of rules and a base data graph. Rules can be expressed as RDF or in the SHACL Rules Language (SRL). |
That makes it harder to see the changes - the text layout does not correspond to the HTML layout. I have made the change but it would be helpful to have the comparison that the GH UI provides - it highlights the changes in a suggestion. The text still has "shapes" because of writing out "SHACL". |

Ok, thanks for making the changes. I'll make them myself next time. For me the abstract is fine. |

inferencing has long bothered me, and I am hoping it bothers others here, and maybe we can stop verbing the noun (inference) that was already a nouning of a verb (infer). Maybe we can just use inferring.

"Inferencing" is a technical term that is used in several fields, such as AI, and is used in the semantic web area.

Note: the wording for the rules abstract is based on:
https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl12-core/#abstract
This PR takes text from the revised SHACL 12. Core abstract as related to SHACL Rules.
This is no more than a slightly better abstract. The final abstract can be written when the document is complete.
