Not sure either it's writeable as punning imply to treat the
class/individual as different things ...

tried to dig if it is possible in SWRL (see
http://dior.ics.muni.cz/~makub/owl/ for example), seems not so easy either,
found this topic on semanticweb.com (google cache
<http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:dAcXbpivQJoJ:answers.semanticweb.com/questions/26553/property-chains-or-swrl-rules-with-subclassof-and-type+&cd=1&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=fr&client=iceweasel-a>,
the site seems down ATM, original URL : swrl rules with subclass of and type
<http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/26553/property-chains-or-swrl-rules-with-subclassof-and-type>)
which is related to the problems I faced and seem to imply it needs to be
done in SPARQL.


Happy Q11269 either ;)
