Any reason why we can't reuse the original name of the Working Group? RDF Data Shapes Working Group

The shortname was already 'data shapes', so it seems to make more sense.

(not within i18n review)

• In 3.2 non-normative documents contains a text The group may produce other Community Group Reports, but there seems no mention about SHACL Community Group
• links to SHACL 1.2 drafts are failing to have charter-drafts repository as its base (not sure why)

As a side, PING got a few suggestions (from @pes10k, not privacy related):

• copy-editing improvements:
  • the only sentence in the 3 paragraph Motivation and Background section thats doing any work / needed is “The overarching goal of the SDWWG is to enable spatial data to be integrated within the wider Web of data; developing and maintaining standard patterns and specifications addressing these problems.” (not a normative concern, of course)
  • Again, there are abbreviations and references to other specs and technologies all over this charter that are not clear to the reader. I have no idea what a “SSN Ontology” or “SOSA vocabulary” vocabulary are when they’re described in the Scope section. Just some links and things would help!
• describe relationship to the previous WG in the background

• describe relationship to the previous WG in the background

I added this text to refer to the previous group name: "This group will maintain specifications developed by the former RDF Data Shapes WG."
