> People always mention RDF when the semantic web comes up. There's nothing wrong with RDF itself, the modern plain-text and JSON serializations are very simple and elegant. Even things like OWL are being reworked now with efforts like SHACL and ShEx (see e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.06096 for a description of how these relate to the more logical/formal, OWL-centered point of view).

A recent paper connects SHACL (mentioned in OP) to description logic and OWL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.06096 . This is a surprising link which seems to have been missed by SemWeb practitioners when SHACL was proposed.
