Hi, Assume we have: myclass:PassengerVehicle rdf:Type rdfs:Class myclass:FourPassengerVehicle rdfs:subClassOf myclass:PassengerVehicle myclass:FourPassengerVehicle myprops:seats "4" myclass:Volkswagen rdfs:subClassOf myclass:FourPassengerVehicle myobjects:myCar rdf:Type myclass:Volkswagen then: * does "normal" RDF/RDFS-compliant software "know" that all instances of myclass:Volkswagen have 4 seats? * and does it know that myCar has four seats? or in other words: does specialization (rdfs:subClassOf) and typing (rdf:Type) actually and reliably lead to inheritance of properties? Regards, Hans PS I have been unable to locate such "normal" software (IDE, validators, browsers, etc.) that can be used without being a programmer (I'm a data modeller) Any hints? ____________________________ Hans Teijgeler co-author of ISO 15926-2 <http://www.infowebml.ws/ECM4.5/ECM4.5.html> author of ISO 15926-7 website www.InfowebML.ws <http://www.infowebml.ws/> e-mail hans.teijgeler@quicknet.nl phone +31-72-509 2005Received on Wednesday, 6 April 2005 09:09:31 GMT
