Possible to access constructor of shape script?

[elvin.d...@gmail.com]

I am trying to insert some logic when creating a new instance for a given class (here: skos:Concept) through its Shape Script. I am not sure if this is possible though.

Usually in coding this is done by overriding it's constructor and calling super() so that the regular construction routine is preserved. My goal is to insert a new type of class (prov:Entity) automatically when a user decides to create a new concept. I'm getting an error, which could indicate it's not possible or that I should do it another way.

Any thoughts?

Nope:

If you are trying to perform side effects whenever an instance in the RDF graph is created then a ShapeScript isn't going to help. These objects only exist when instantiated explicitly by an ADS script, but creating new instances from TopBraid EDG user interface isn't going to trigger that.

I think you're rather looking for a ChangeScript

basically performing another triple add whenever the dataset.addedGraphURI contains a new skos:Concept. The downloadable example from the link above seems to do exactly that.
