I am seriously interested in your position on the topic. Do you say that anything goes as long as it stays satisfiable? Should I assume that some property applying to some container/collection also applies to its members (which seems to be the implicit assumption here)? Should I modify my SPARQL queries accordingly? Let me play the censor a bit more :-) Let's admit that Dan also means legal person with person. But not every group of individuals acting together is a legal person. The example here was a group of people co-authoring a paper. Also, the notion that foaf:Group is a subclass of foaf:Person does not make any sense to me. Why then introduce foaf:Group at all?
