Hello everyone,

I have a spreadsheet with 5 columns, which needs to be converted into OWL. 
The columns contain sub-category (sub-class), and I am trying to convert 
the spreadsheet in a way that allows for the lowest level element to be 
related to the subclass above it in the hierarchy, and the so that there is 
some kind of cascading effect. The columns are: A, B, C, D, E, and F, so 
the result should be as follows: E->D->C-B->A. With A being the highest 
class in the chain. By making F a subclass of E, I am hoping to have a 
cascading effect, whereby E will be automatically related to D, C, B, and A.

Here is an example of my spreadsheet:

column1 column2 column3 column3 column4 SuperClass 1 SubClass 1-1 
SuperClass 2 SubClass 1-2 SubClass 2-1 
SuperClass 3 SubClass 1-3 SubClass 2-2 
SuperClass 4 SubClass 1-4 SubClass 2-3 
SuperClass 5 SubClass 1-5 SubClass 2-4 
SuperClass 6 SubClass 1-6 SubClass 2-5 
SuperClass 7 SubClass 1-7 SubClass 2-6 SubClass 3-1 SubClass 4-1 SuperClass 
8 SubClass 1-8 SubClass 2-7 SubClass 3-2 SubClass 4-2

So column4 is a subclass to column3, column3 subclass to column2, and 
column2 subclass to column1, which is my superclass.

Hopefully this makes sense to you.

PS: I have also attached sample data for easy reference.
