David, -----8<----- For purposes of traceability analysis and impact analysis it would be useful to return the results ordered in a transitive sequence, rather than alphanumerically, if owl:TransitiveProperty is specified in the ontology. -----8<----- In Virtuoso, we've found that many tasks requires additional return variables, such as ID of the path and a position of the node in the path. Thus sorting by path ID then by position gives the desired traceability. However, this behavior should be optional because this order does not work fine for breadth first strategies. IMHO the choice between orders depends solely on the query asked, not on presence of any hints in the ontology or data. Best Regards, Ivan Mikhailov OpenLink Software http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com
