Hi Helen --

I noticed your requirement ...

Now we are facing the new problem of modelling "two or more" facts of a
necessary condition for "order chest X-ray" in the knowledge base.
Furthermore, doctors will likely tell you that no only they need to express
"at least two or more", they also want to express "fact A carries more
weight or more indicative to a diagnosis than fact B".  If we were to model
these "weighted condition", we are opening a whole can of new worms, and I
don't think any SW reasoners now can do reasoning on this.

Our reasoner [1] for rules in open vocabulary English is not officially
blessed as a "SW reasoner", but it should easily support what you need.
Shared use is free .

Please take a look at the OWL, RDF and other examples at [2].  (You can run
them in a browser at [1]).

If this is of potential interest, please expand a bit on the above use case
and provide some sample (invented) data.  I'll be glad to make a demo that
you will be able to view, run and change by pointing a browser to [1].

Thanks!    -- Adrian
