Hi Michel, The subclass relationship in RDF is about subsets, so if A1 is a subset of A, then members of A1 are members of A. If the user interface knows that P has domain A, it includes P on forms for A1 instances because those are also instances of A.
For example, in the kennedys model included with TopBraid Composer, the kennedys:parent property has an rdfs:domain of kennedys:Person and kennedys:Patriarch is a subclass of kennedys:Person, so the kennedys:parent property appears on the form for the the kennedys:JosephKennedy instance of kennedys:Patriach. I wouldn't consider this to be inheritance, which I think of more in terms of inheritance of instance behavior, but instead as the use by applications such as TopBraid Composer (and other applications built with the TopBraid platform) of the model to drive interface behavior.
