Hello,
I would like to express a composition relationship. Something like:
A Country consist of Provinces
A Province consists of Municipalities
I thought this should be straightforward because this is a common and
logical kind of relationship, but I could not find a vocabulary which allows
be to make this kind of statement. Perhaps I am bad at searching, or maybe I
did not use the right words.
I did find this document:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/OEP/SimplePartWhole/ ("Simple
part-whole relations in OWL Ontologies"). It explains that OWL has no direct
support for this kind of relationship and it goes on to give examples on how
one can create ontologies that do support the relationship in one way or the
other.
Is there a ready to use ontology/vocabulary out there that can help me
express containment/composition?
Thanks in advance,
Frans
