The shapes define constraints on metadata properties such as license, language, and publisher, often requiring values to link to controlled vocabularies. This subset notably includes nested constraints via sh:node, introducing multi-level validation dependencies.

Constraint patterns in this subset include:

  • Metadata property constraints
  • Links to controlled vocabularies
  • Nested constraints via sh:node
  • Mandatory and recommended fields
