Hi Holger,

- in many other modelling languages it is no problem to have
not-further-constrainted user defined type just for the sake of the
extra user-defined names
-  I will upgrade tbc and study the Manchester syntax and then look at
the generated code.....

(guess all is now then owl2? Or do I also have some activation? Or is it
owl2 being fully downward compatibel?)

Thx Michel

Hi Michel,

as you may have seen, OWL 1.1 is no longer supported by TBC, instead we
support all of OWL 2.

In your case, I wonder why you even have the onDataRange to restrict
float, as there is no other constraint defined - you could just as well
use xsd:float it seems. I think the correct way of specifying such a
global datatype is using rdfs:subClassOf.

The other way of using those user-defined datatypes in OWL 2 is via
local restrictions at a class, using the OWL Manchester Syntax.

        http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-manchester-syntax/

which will handle the low-level triples for you.

Holger
