Comment on: Representing Specified Values in OWL

Hello all,

I just read the note, and although I found the content interesting as well, what really struck me is the graphical notation. Is there any formalisation of the graphical notation beyond the one given in the note? For further OWL constructs?

And just to see if I understood it right, I think there is an error in Figure 1: the arrows going from poor_health, medium_health and good_health to Health_Value should be open, not closes, as this is a typeOf and not a subClassOf-Relation.

And in Figure 3, the blob of the arrow has_health_status / someValuesFrom from the HealthyPerson to Good_health_value should be attached to the HealtyPerson circle instead of starting somewhere in its middle. But this is rather personal taste. The arrows from Person to Medium_health_value and Poor_health_value do represent restrictions? Then -- taking for granted that has_health:status is functional -- the semantics of these arrows seem not well defined (although I do catch the intuition, I'm just not sure it is well presented).

Thanks for the great work, hope to see more on this (or do it myself ;)

Best regards,
denny
