well, I think it comes down to what you do with what you have derived
e.g.
  rdfs:Class a [ owl:complementOf [ a owl:Restriction; owl:onProperty
      rdf:type; owl:maxCardinality "0"; owl:hasClass
          rdfs:Class]]

is obtained via some entailment rules, but I think there
is no reason to ``assert such a graph i.e. I wouldn't
consider entailment rules as comprehension rules
