Hello! I'm trying to use OWL in my research, in which I need a way to represent constraints on a semantic network, and while studying OWL and analyzing it's completeness, I found no direct way to express "transitive over" properties, I mean properties, which are not transitive by themselves, but are transitive over another property. For example "worksFor" may be considered transitive over "consistsOf", if we have a company consisting of departments. Are there any ways in current OWL to express such a relations? I suppose, they're vital for part-whole relationship. Hope, this message is clear to understand ;-) Sincerely, Mikhail Khlopotov South Ural State University, Russia.Received on Sunday, 4 January 2004 07:58:33 GMT
