Hi TQ,

I am using the Problems View to verify how a converted dataset behaves in an existing model, such as checking the correct class of the instance via a defined range.
The model contains a property with a range like this:

rdfs:range [
      rdf:type owl:Class ;
      owl:unionOf (
          ex:A
          ex:B
          ex:C
        ) ;
    ] ;

I import spinrdf and spinowl. After running I see many range violation errors on a blank node:
Range violation: <@7988..etc> expected for ...

I assume this blank node is the translation of the owl:unionOf. The flagged instance contains in the range correct instances of A or B or C, however it is flagged since it is not belonging to the blank node class.

Figuring out whether it is an instance of the bnode class would require combining this with OWL inferencing, possibly using the SPIN OWL RL implementation (if that covers owl:unionOf in this case).

Can you suggest an alternative rule for checking ranges like this?

Using OWL for constraint checking should be regarded as a hack as OWL was really not designed for this purpose. If SHACL is an option for you, it would be something like

ex:MyShape
    a sh:Shape ;  # in the future: sh:NodeShape
    sh:targetObjectsOf ex:property ;
    sh:or (
        [ sh:class ex:A ]
        [ sh:class ex:B ]
        [ sh:class ex:C ]
    ) .

Holger
