Dear All, It would be pleasing to have a kind of P0_CRM_top_property or PX_is_related_to as the "mother of all properties" in the CRM. This would in no way interfere with the semantics of the other properties while providing us with some ways to solve semingly trivial practical problems like finding all CRM-Properties in an rdf or owl implementation or being able to say that two objects/individuals/entities are in relation but we don't know exactly how, etc. Such property would resemble the owl-top-property but keep compatibility with the CRM. Domain and Range should, of course, be E1 I feel that this is not exactly the "is related to" property that was discussed here earlier but probably it is still being worth discussion.

This property has very weak semantics (e.g. that there is some known relationship between a and b). One benefit / problem with using this property is that it is a super property of all object properties, so you may need to be careful to turn inference on / off. You can also define your own equivalent placeholder, which will make it easier to use inference when you can start upgrading to more specific relationships. Simon Sounds like a good solution! It is standard, and obviously less committed than anything in the CRM...
