One place you might be able to do implement this would be on top of Bijan
Parsia's Prolog RDF stuff.

Hmm - I suppose there's another long way around, something like :

to assert :
Adam nParents 1

	query:
	Person nParents x

	if conflict:
			retract Person nParents x
			create Person subclass PersonNotAdam
			assert PersonNotAdam nParents 2
			assert Adam nParents 1

(yuck!)
