CellAspectConsistencyShape

SPARQL constraint: Viewpoint is classified by cell {?cell} but declares aspect {?aspect} which does not match the cell's aspect {?cellAspect}. Warning

CellPerspectiveConsistencyShape

SPARQL constraint: Viewpoint is classified by cell {?cell} but declares perspective {?perspective} which does not match the cell's perspective {?cellPerspective}. Warning

SPARQL constraint: zach:classifiedByCell value {?cell} is not a narrower concept of zachtax:Cell. Violation
