The PIMO ontology is only one of many ontologies published by NEPOMUK. It is further described in the exhaustive PDF file: http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/11/01/pimo/v1.1/pimo_v1.1.pdf there is a class hierarchy from pimo:Thing downwards and from pimo:relatingProperty and pimo:describingProperty. for the other ontologies, see the other files, this is also quite exhaustive: http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/nie/ best Leo It was Azamat who said at the right time 27.02.2009 18:16 the following words: > Leo, > Thank you for your reference.

If yes, isn't it a key ontology property? > There is the template structure used for each class: > superclass/suclass; domain/range, description/instances.
