Consider the simpler example "if Y is Desirable and Y is Doable then Y is Done". In OWL 2 with class intersections: SubClassOf(ObjectIntersectionOf(Desirable Doable) Done) Thus if ClassAssertion(action Desirable) ClassAssertion(action Doable) we can conclude ClassAssertion(action Done) In Prolog: 'Done'(Y) :- 'Desirable'(Y), 'Doable'(Y). I am asking about the same thing with properties.Received on Sunday, 3 August 2008 01:53:06 GMT
