Hi,

shouldn't P150 "defines typical parts of" be subproperty of P127 "has broader term"?

I think the scope notes support it. The SKOS extension vocabulary also models broaderPartitive as subproperty of broader [1].

Dear Martin,

Thank you for your suggestion, but I do not think this is wise. E.g., car is not a more general term than a motor, particularly if you think of engines that can be placed in ships or in electric generators. What is the broader term of "screw" then? I want to say that parts may or may not be restricted in type to a particular type of whole, and can be of quite different nature and context. Think for instance of a relic container, which has part bones on saints.

This interpretation goes back to ISO2788, but indeed gives wrong deductions. We need P127 to be restricted to "BTG", otherwise you cannot compute how P127 complements superclass hierarchies. Superproperties should only be introduced if there is a reasonable query which would subsume these
senses 100%. Do you have an example of a query?

Best wishes,

Martin
