"5.1 Classes can be understood as sets of individuals." This should be something like: "5.1 Classes represent sets of objects from the domain." or "5.1 Classes represent sets of (semantic) individuals." First, classes are (syntactic) entities, so they can't be understood as sets; they must be understood as representing sets. Second, individuals are also (syntactic) entities, so are almost never the members of the sets that classes represent. The members of the sets are the things that the individuals represent. In calling these "objects from the domain" I am copying terminology used in the opening to section 5; (semantic) individual is used elsewhere to mean the same thing. --- "5.3 Object properties connect pairs of individuals." This has similar problems. What is meant is something like: "5.3 Object properties represent connections between objects from the domain." or "5.3 Object properties represent connections between (semantic) individuals." --- "5.4 Data properties connect individuals with literals." Similarly. Note that the semantic individual is connected not with a literal, but with what the literal represents, which is a "value such as a particular string or integer" (quoting section 5.7). I have not reviewed the entire 'Syntax' document looking for problems of this sort. Best JonathanReceived on Monday, 23 March 2009 16:42:25 GMT
