Hi John,

Thanks, I had read that before but had forgot that this was specifically mentioned in that document. I'm still trying to understand the full implications. In particular, I think that OWL 1.1 may remove the restriction that motivated this pattern, but that there may be problems - Just wrote this note to the OWL list, we'll see what folks say:

The OWL 1.1 web site is http://owl1_1.cs.manchester.ac.uk/

alan,

Perhaps we could review these at our next conference call. For
instance the ontologies choose to create an instance of each leaf
class for populating instances corresponding to database entries with
these values. What do people think of this?

This is an often used technique to keep ontologies/knowledge bases OWL DL.
There is a very nice article on this subject at:

Kei Chung has updated the Senselab BioRDF here.

http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/Tasks/SenseLab

In it he points to the NeuroWeb web site

http://128.36.123.50/NeuroWeb/

Which contains links to OWL ontologies for cocodat and neurondb (plus
a sampling of data).

class for populating instances corresponding to database entries with

I don't think we have a TC planned for this coming tuesday, but if
there is sufficient interest we can set one up. Otherwise we can talk
about it the following week.
