I recommend representing HappyPerson(Fred) as ex:Fred rdf:type ex:HappyPerson. i.e. for rdf:is, we have rdf:type for rdf:isNot, we sort-of/will have rdf:type along with ont:complementOf so... ex:Bob rdf:type [ ont:complementOf ex:HappyPerson]. DebM in the WebOnt WG is maintaing a tips/tricks document; perhaps this idiom could go there, if not in our primer. http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/daml/modelingIssues.html <- http://www.daml.org/listarchive/joint-committee/0881.html > Propose that as schema data types define a boolean data value, this issue be > merged with: > > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfs-xml-schema-datatypes > > Brian -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
