If class A is equivalent to class B, it means that class A is subclass of B
and class B is subclass of A.

Since the class tree shows the subclass relationship, it is showing
SpicyPizza as a subclass of SpicyPizzaEquivalent and SpicyPizzaEquivalent as
a subclass of SpicyPizza. This is normal and works as intended.

Subject: [tbc-users] Pizza Ontology, Inference Loop


I used the Pellet reasoner for the Pizza ontology. Its output is the
following:
SpicyPizzaEquivalent
     - SpicyPizza
          - SpicyPizzaEquivalent
                 - SpicyPizza
                        - etc.....
There is an endless loop. What is the problem in this case? I also have
another ontology, that defines the class accommodation as equivalent to
accommodation_service. Both are subclasses of Thing. If I run the reasoner,
those classes are not listed anymore in the classes tree view under thing.
They actually have disappeared, I can find them using the search, but if I
add them to the basket and click on them to view their position in the tree
view, they do not appear....

Are there any problems with the equivalent classes in Topbraid Composer? Why
is there an endless loop? In Protege, both ontologies work without any
problems.
