Hi, I like the idea of being able to do this (very sensible on the semantic web), but doesn't this interact with the imports section as well? Unless of course by 'import' you meant 'load'... An RDF/XML file containing only PropertyAssertions does not contain an OntologyURI or VersionURI (as there is no owl:Ontology element), so it cannot be imported from another ontology. -Rinke PS Trackbot, this is related to ISSUE-21 On 28 mei 2008, at 05:49, Alan Ruttenberg wrote: > > We had, at some point discussed the situation where one might import > a document not explicitly purposed for OWL, but which could still be > valid OWL in combinaton with other axioms - for instance a RDF/XML > document consisting solely of PropertyAssertions. > > However, the RDF Mapping document currently precludes this: > >> First, patterns from Table 3 are matched to G in order to extract >> the ontology header — the ontology URI and the set of URIs of the >> imported ontologies.
