Right? I am not sure what :Class is. Also, in your example, AfricanLion is not a class but an individual. This is not quite right for this example. Consider for instance what you would do for the Lion class: you cannot make it an instance of the Animal class since, among other things, you won't be able to say that AfricanLion is a Lion. > Also (unrelated), would it make sense to use > > :LionsLifeInThePrideBook > owl:sameAs <http://isbn.nu/0736809643> ; > > rather than > > :LionsLifeInThePrideBook > rdfs:seeAlso <http://isbn.nu/0736809643> ; I am not sure. I think either solution is correct. I would lean towards the seeAlso simply because we don't have enough information to say that the resources are equivalent (by using owl:sameAs) Natasha
