Lieke;  It seems the reasoners are not going to make this inference, which makes sense since the standards state that all user-defined class definitions are subclasses of owl:Thing, and rdfs:Resource is not a subclass of owl:Thing.  See for example http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-guide/

So, yes, it seems your results are as expected.

Dear all,

I have a simple ontology with only classes and subclasses:

# baseURI: http://example.com/subclass

@prefix :        <http://example.com/subclass#> .
@prefix owl:     <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix rdf:     <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix rdfs:    <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix xsd:     <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .

<http://example.com/subclass>
      rdf:type owl:Ontology ;
      owl:versionInfo "Created with TopBraid Composer"^^xsd:string .

:A    rdf:type owl:Class ;
      rdfs:label "A "@en ;
      rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing .

:B    rdf:type owl:Class ;
      rdfs:label "B "@en ;
      rdfs:subClassOf :A .

:C    rdf:type owl:Class ;
      rdfs:label "C "@en ;
      rdfs:subClassOf :B .



When I enable Complete Mode inferencing (see attachment inference settings.png) and run inferences I see something that looks like rdfs:subClassOf transitive behaviour (see attachment classC.png). Similar to:

CONSTRUCT {  ?subject rdfs:subClassOf ?object }
WHERE {     ?subject rdfs:subClassOf+ ?object .}

exept that the triple :C rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Resource is not generated when inferencing like this.

What is it exactly that I see?

thanks, Lieke
