Combining with shapes (SHACL or ShEx) creates something operational, for validation of data, especially when doing data integration or relating patterns in the data to concepts.

(they overlap with RDFS on domain and range; RDFS is for the subclass/subproperty).

They seem to be more approachable for a lot of people than OWL.

But, briefly: I have yet to see a good use case that would justify the expense and trouble of making a formal ontology. The most you will probably ever need is an RDFS schema, and that mainly for your own understanding, communication, and documentation.

Thanks,
