Hi Irene, Wrt your “To be clear, I would not recommend this approach to data modeling. I also have to admit that I find this discussion pretty esoteric and largely irrelevant.”
We find this pattern/need very often in practice (multi-level typing). Catalogue products beings instances that are instantiated again for a client, properties defined with meta-data, instantiated again for actual properties of things, etc. etc. People use very different ways of dealing with it using punning, rdf:Property as range, objectproperties iso rdf:type having similar semantic intentions etc. etc. So I guess its important to know for certain variants what is actually inferred or not etc. I was glad the issue was brought up (again) by Jan. The start of the issue was actually a question of some clients on how to best combine say RDFS/OWL and SKOS since sometimes the thing modelled then could be both an instance and a class and the w3c spec sayd his would lead to owl full which might have been true for owl1 but not for owl2.

Van: [email protected] <[email protected]> Namens Irene Polikoff Verzonden: Thursday, November 21, 2019 1:25 AM Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [topbraid-users] Re: combining owl and skos RDFS says: rdf:type rdfs:range rdfs:Class. Given :x a :Eagle. :Eagle a :Species. :Species a owl:Class. A tool that implements RDFS inferencing will conclude :Eagle a rdfs:Class. :Species a rdfs:Class. If you add OWL into the mix, you may get :Species rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing. :Eagle a owl:Thing. owl:Nothing rdfs:subClassOf :Eagle. Possibly, :Eagle a owl:NamedIndividual. I believe it has the same class extension as owl:Thing. I can’t think of any other inferences entailed by the 3 triples above. To be clear, I would not recommend this approach to data modeling. I also have to admit that I find this discussion pretty esoteric and largely irrelevant.

May even vary from reasoner to reasoner. Cheers, David On 20 Nov 2019, at 12:35, Irene Polikoff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I would think rdfs:Class, not owl:Class.
