Jack,
I don’t believe sub-classing is either an issue or a requirement here. Faceted search works over instances of a class. Classes are instances of either rdfs:Class or owl:Class. So, you need to be faceting over either rdfs:Class or owl:Class. And properties to select from as facets would need to be associated with these e.g., have owl:Class in their domain.

I am trying to build faceted search across standard models/repositories. In this case the classes are terminals for the repository and contain all the information an instance would carry. For example, in the obolibrary DOID, disease obo:DOID_9352 is fully populated with content, and the disease is unlikely to be subclassed or instantiated. My understanding is that these classes can participate in faceted search under certain circumstances. First, they have to subclassed under one of my classes. Also, for classes to be facetable they need to carry properties and look like resources. I created namespaces such as the following for Symptoms: http://siemens.com/1.0/vocab/biomed-symp and a prefix for it: biomed-symp. I created a class called Symptom and then subclassed several (for the purposes of a demo) of the classes in the obolibrary (e.g., obo:SYMP_0000455) to biomed-symp:Symptom. I did the same for diseases (etc.). I created facets to bridge the repositories, such as biomed-symp:involvesDisease, that I hung off biomed-symp:Symptom in the defaultFacets property. In the vocabulary, I added these properties (e.g,. obo:SYMP_0000455 biomed-symp:involvesDisease obo:DOID_9352). Unfortunately this approach isn't working, so I haven't gone far enough in one way or another, and figure that you guys might know how to do it. Any help would be appreciated as faceted search is very important to this project. My faceted search in other parts of the project, created the same way but on class instances, are working fine.

If I have a repository that is basically a taxonomy and has all of the content at the class level, then faceted search on the classes would provide the same benefit as faceted search on instances.
