Patel-Schneider [mailto:pfps@research.bell-labs.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 6:44 AM To: public-swbp-wg@w3.org Cc: joint-committee@daml.org Subject: comment on N-ary relations draft I just read the N-ary relations draft and I am somewhat confused as to why it has the two representation patterns. I don't see that the two patterns are different in any substantial way as the only difference between them is the direction of one arrow. This difference may matter in some formalisms but doesn't in RDF/RDFS (as they are too weak to notice much difference) or OWL (as it has the inverse construct). So, my question is why maintain the two different representation patterns? Peter F. Patel-Schneider Bell Labs Research
