RE: Classes in OWL

I think generally URI identifies rdf:Resource. You needn’t declare.
When you use “<WineGrape rdf:ID=”CabernetSauvignonGrape”/>, the OWL
parser will consider it as that CabernetSauvignonGrape is an instance of
WineGrape.

Subject: Classes in OWL
 
If I create a class in OWL e.g.   <owl:Class rdf:ID="WineGrape"/>
 
Then I create an instance  <WineGrape rdf:ID="CabernetSauvignonGrape" />
 
Can I check whether Subject: CabernetSauvignonGrape is Predicate:
rdf:resource=http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type of
Object:WineGrape?
 
Basically can I use the
rdf:resource=http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type predicate
on these OWL classes which have not been declared as a subclass of
rdfs;Resource ?
