Thanks for you quick reply. The result of my SPARQL query describes the violation. So, with your proposal the not existing part of the triples is declared as violation.

What makes me wonder is that in opposite the expressions in sh:property doesn’t describe the violation. What’s the reason for this different understanding?

In all cases, the sh:condition shape describes the constraints that the target nodes must fulfill. In the case of property constraints this is quite intuitive, so if you say sh:hasValue :Value_1 then it will only apply to nodes where that property has the given value. With SHACL-SPARQL constraints, you formulate the constraints in a way that may be confusing at first, because you have to state the patterns that are *not* supposed to exist. So if the SPARQL query returns no result (rows) then all is fine and the rule will fire. The reason for this design is that this enables SPARQL queries to return more information about the violation, e.g. the focus node (?this) and the value node (?value).

Is this clearer now?

Many thanks for your help!

    Thanks for sending the details in a minimal executable format.
    Made it much easier to play around.

    The issue is that the sh:condition must apply to the focus
    node(s), which means that before a rule is applied, the focus node
    must not violate any constraints from the node shape that is the
    sh:condition. In your example, the sh:sparql constraint will be
    violated, because

          PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#> <http://example.org/ex#>

    SELECT $this
          WHERE {
    $this :MyObjProp ?prop .
          }

    in SHACL means that it will produce a constraint violation for
    each result in the SELECT query. In your example data, it would
    produce one violation for each value of MyObjProp, of which there
    are plenty.

    Maybe you meant to say WHERE { FILTER NOT EXISTS { $this
    :MyObjProp ?anyProp } } instead, to check that the focus node has
    *no* value for that property?

    The example ontology has two classes (:MyClass and :Value) and
    two properties (:MyObjProp and:MyDataProp).

    :MyClass
      a owl:Class ;
      a sh:NodeShape ;
    rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing ;
    .
    :MyDataProp
      a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
    rdfs:domain :MyClass ;
    rdfs:range xsd:string ;
    .
    :MyObjProp
      a owl:ObjectProperty ;
    rdfs:domain :MyClass ;
    rdfs:range :Value ;
    .
    :Value
      a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing ; .

    Some instances were added.

    :MyClass_1
      a :MyClass ;
    :MyDataProp :Value_1 ;
    :MyObjProp :Value_1 ; .
    :MyClass_2 a :MyClass ;
    :MyObjProp :Value_2 ;
    .
    :Value_1
      a :Value ;
    .
    :Value_2
      a :Value ;
    .

    A NodeShape :NodeShapeRule with a sh:rule (:SPARQLRule_1) was
    created. This rule creates new triples. With the sh:condition the
    rule should be restricted to a subset of targets.

    :NodeShapeRule
      a sh:NodeShape ;
      sh:rule :SPARQLRule_1 ;
    sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
    .
    :SPARQLRule_1
      a sh:SPARQLRule ;
    sh:condition :NodeShapeConditionSPARQL ;
    sh:construct """
    PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#> <http://example.org/ex#>
    CONSTRUCT {
    $this :MyDataProp \"New input\" .
         }
    WHERE {
    $this :MyObjProp ?p .
         }
      """ ;
    .

    For the restriction two equivalent NodeShapes were defined. The
    first constraint works with sh:property, the other uses sh:sparql.

    :NodeShapeConditionProperty
      a sh:NodeShape ;
    sh:property [
    sh:path :MyObjProp ;
    sh:description "NodeShapeConditionProperty" ;
    sh:hasValue :Value_1 ;
      ] ;
    sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
    .
    :NodeShapeConditionSPARQL
      a sh:NodeShape ;
    sh:sparql [
    sh:message "NodeShapeConditionSPARQL" ;
    sh:prefixes <http://example.org/ex> <http://example.org/ex> ;
    sh:select """
    PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#> <http://example.org/ex#>
    SELECT $this
    WHERE {
    $this :MyObjProp ?prop .
          }
        """ ;
      ] ;
    sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
    .

    While doing inferencing with Topbraid Composer I received
    different results for both solutions. Only the solution with
    sh:property provides the expected response. Please, can anyone
    explain me this behavior?

    :MyClass_1 :MyDataProp "New input"
