Hello list, Thanks for all of your help in the past.
I have a question that is a follow up to my question regarding defining a class in terms of restrictions using mininclusive, max inclusive etc. I have created an ontology that is meant to be useful for determining whether or not a set of individuals is a member of a given class as well as which individuals are members of which class. For example, Imagine that I have a set of instance data about a group of patients and I want to determine which of those patients are adults, which are children, which are elderly etc. In this case I have information about the ages of these patients and I have an Ontology that defines "adult", "child, "elder" etc. in terms of restrictions on the datatype property for "hasAge" in terms of maxinclusive, mininclusive etc. Basically, a child would be defined as a person that hasAge some minInclusive 1 and maxExclusive 18. So my question is, how can I use the capability of TBC M.E. to determine of a such a group of patients which patients are instances of which classes. I tried "inferencing" with SWIFT OWLIM and it did not make the inference. (I am certain that my OWL expression is correct, but I can send an example if necessary) I tried Pellet and after about 2days (using only 1 instance) I gave up. It got as far a "realizing" after about a day and got 3/4s of the way through realizing. I tried the built in Jena reasoner and it hung up for an hour while "querying triple 1240900" So I shut it down. So I am wondering how does one use native OWL logic to perform such a feat? I am sure I can use a SPARQL query, but I would like to move beyond simple RDF and take advantage of the capabilities of OWL. Maybe it is pointless? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
