@multimeric I think they serve different purposes. #rdfs is not really a schema language, at least not in the "here is a prescribed structure you can validate against" sense. It was more intended as a descriptional thing, something to define basic vocabulary ("my model is about kinds of vehicles, like cars, and bikes"). A lightweight ontology language if you will. SHACL is about setting structure constraints, and data validation. They're complementary IMO.
