Hello world, I've been fiddling with RDF recently to build a few little graphviz diagrams. I'm reasonably comfortable using logical inference to deduce properties with statements of the form { :p :someProperty :s } log:implies { :s :someOtherProp "foo" } but I claim no deep knowledge of RDF. For my most recent toy, I want to do something more complex and I can't get my head around it. The short question is, how do I express "not" in an RDF rule. The longer question is: Suppose I have three nodes, :p, :s, and :t. I want to express the following rule: If :p :pointsTo :s and :p :pointsTo :t and not(s :pointsTo :t) then :p :hasEdge :t Graphically, I'm trying to avoid a bunch of extraneous edges. Given [p]----------------->[t] | ^ +---->[s]------------+ I want to simply graph: [p]------>[s]------->[t] I hope that makes something resembling sense. :-) Be seeing you, norm -- Norman.Walsh@Sun.COM | One's never alone with a rubber duck.
