[UI] Support for DASH Property Role

[edmondchuc]

DASH Property Roles provides a vocabulary to annotate the role of property shapes for different uses. These include labels, descriptions, icons, depiction (to display an image), system identifiers via IDRole, and secondary information via KeyInfoRole.

SHACL user-interface should support the same mechanism to define property roles already defined in DASH. New property roles may also be considered and the mechanism to define roles may be reused for shapes in general. For example, declaring node shapes that are the "root" shape for the SHACL targets.

Discussion:

• What property roles, both existing in DASH and new, should be considered?
• Should defining roles be applicable to shapes in general?

Amongst the existing DASH roles, dash:LableRole is certainly the most useful, as it can power viewing, populating dropdown lists when editing and searching.

Here is an idead for a possible new one(s) : in order to populate trees (such as this one), it could be possible to define "parent" and "child" roles in property shapes. Also possibly "root" roles. (in SKOS : skos:broader = parent, skos:narrower = child, skos:topConceptOf = root)
This can also be useful for e.g. breadcrumbs, table of contents, transitive querying, etc...
