You should experiment and see what happens. 3 alone should give you an inference :B rdf:type :Class1 in my example. Irene From: "Bohms, H.M.

Since you say " If, for some unusual reason, you wanted to create restrictions independently from the named classes they are used to define, y" I try to reformulate a bit better, just to better understand (in my reasoning it's not an unuasual reason so I probably don't understand it right....). Suppose I have A(x) and R(x), A being a named class and R being an anonymous restriction class. I then see three options that could be relevant: 1) A(x) -> R(x) You define the class A and define the restriction R for it and make A a subclass of R. R is a necc. condition for A. 2) A(x) <-> R(x) You define a class A and define again restriction R but now say equivalent class iso subclass. R is a necc. and also sufficient condition for A (in case you know something satisfies R(x) you know it is a member of A(x) so you could automatically classify. So these two ways are the typical constructs I up to now encountered and used. But now the unusual one, in second sight doesnt seem so unusual at all (well to me): 3) R(x) -> A(x) Now we cannot start with a defined class but have to first instantite R(x) after making it visible in the class tree. So we define a restriction class and then say its a subclass of A(x). Now we can only partially/incomplete classify because R(x) is optional for A. (so in my view 2) is just 1) AND 3)....) Is this storysofar still ok? and can indeed reasoners do 3) because they can already do 2, which is in fact 1and3)? Thx again! Michel 2015-04-14 17:41 GMT+02:00 Bohms, H.M.

From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Irene Polikoff Sent: dinsdag 14 april 2015 16:16 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [topbraid-users] sufficient modelling Michel, If I understood you correctly, the answer is ³it doesn¹t matter, the end result is always the same². Create a restriction your usual way, then expand it in the class form and ctrl click on the owl:Restriction in the expanded display to navigate to it. You will see that it has an instance (or several instances depending on how many restrictions you have created). These instances are anonymous resources of type owl:Restriction. You can explore them. If, for some unusual reason, you wanted to create restrictions independently from the named classes they are used to define, you could go to Preferences in TBC and adjust them for the Classes tree so that owl:Restriction appears there. Then create instances. Put the appropriate properties in the owl:onProperty widget and appropriate classes or values into owl:hasValue, owl:someValuesFrom or whatever you want to use. Then, go to a named class and drag and drop the appropriate instance into the rdfs:subClassOf or owl:equivalentClass widgets. If you look at the resulting RDF, it will be identical irrespective of how you got there (provided that it is the same type of restriction). <Hwat does it mean to be sufficient but NOT necessary? (potential incomplete classification?)> "Sufficient and necessary" terminology is not part of OWL. It is Protégé specific terminology. In OWL, there are rdfs:subClassOf and owl:equivalentClass connections to some other classes. The meaning ((what could be inferred) based on such relationships to restrictions is defined in the OWL spec. It depends on the type of restriction. For example: If :Class1 is a subclass of a restriction [onproperty hasID, owl:hasValue=14220), then for each :A rdf:type :Class1, you can infer that :A :hasId Œ14220¹. But if you have a resource :B of some other or unknown type and :B :hasId Œ14220¹, you can¹t infer that :B rdf:type :Class1. If :Class1 is an equivalent class of this restriction, then you can make both inferences - :A :hasId Œ14220¹ and B rdf:type :Class1. Regards, Irene Polikoff From: "Bohms, H.M. (Michel)" <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 at 5:53 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [topbraid-users] sufficient modelling I have a question about modelling ³subclassses the other way round². Typically I model, classes with restrictions being described as subclasses of anonom. classes. Sometimes I do the same with equivelnt classes in case of necc. & sufficient conditions. But, til now, I never modelled only the way backŠ.saying a an. Restriction class as subclass of a named class. (so my LHS of x-> y is now something like [onproperty hasID, owl:hasValue=14220) With that info I could check an instance for this code and derive it is an instance of my named class. Another example: everything having a xHeight is actially an X. (same but now using someValuesFrom iso hasValue) So now my questions: - How do I do this in topbraid (till now it was the other way round, defining a class and then a restriction) - Since equivalence is both ways I guess the way back only also makes sense right? - Hwat does it mean to be sufficient but NOT necessary? (potential incomplete classification?) - How do reasoners deal with this backward Subclassing (do they do it? Is it much harder for them for such complex LHSŠ?) - Thanks a lot! Michel Dr. ir. H.M.
