Dear all,

I've created an ontology with a number of different subclasses:
Superclass: Entity
Subclasses: Actor, Place, Event, TextExtract and others

I defined all of these classes through the standard form editor.  When I 
look at the RDF/XML view they all appear to be consistently defined.  They
all kind of look like this:


<owl:Class rdf:ID="Event">

    <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Entity"/>

</owl:Class>

Which is what I expect.

However, if I open the RDF file itself and look at the saved code, I find 
the following:

<owl:Class rdf:ID="TextExtract">

    <rdfs:subClassOf>

      <owl:Class rdf:ID="Entity"/>

    </rdfs:subClassOf>

</owl:Class>


<owl:Class rdf:about="#Event">

    <rdfs:subClassOf>

      <owl:Class rdf:about="#Entity"/>

    </rdfs:subClassOf>

</owl:Class>


I'm not terribly clear on why I am getting these two different definitions. 
 Semantically they seem to be saying different things,

but perhaps I am mistaken and they are equivalent.  


Does anyone have any ideas on why this would be happening?


Thanks for any ideas.

Chris Power
