In asset management/modelling we often see the need to define groups of (many) things that are not (yet) fully explicitly modelled. Ie a rdfs:Bag instance where not all rdfs:member' s are known explicitly.
Such 'implicit groups' as we call them, we would like to represent using OWL restriction classes in owl (and later also shacl shapes) that are used to classify such group instances. Typically all examples we see is using such restriction classes for subclassing on class-level. So now the idea is to use them for classifying instances. Would that be possible within TBC/EDG? In my perception, such instance-level constraint was only a shacl-benefit. But now one of my partners says that this can be done with owl restrictions too. Here is a sketch of the proposal: [cid:image003.png@01D7BC43.412E19D0] Not that the restriction R (left side) is related to the instance of the group #1 working on its member property. Note also its is a nested restriction: onClass has further subrestrictions. If allowed (owl full?) and practically working in TBC/EDG, it would be a very nice language-level approach, better than own inventions like an own hasReferenceIndividual relationship etc. Thx Michel Dr. ir.
