Re: Minutes of Web Ontology Working Group teleconference of June 5, 2003

I did a test with just adding

rdfs:Class rdf:type _:iii.
_:iii owl:intersectionOf _:lll.
_:lll rdf:first rdfs:Class.
_:lll rdf:rest rdf:nil.

to our owl-comprension-rules premises
(but in this case we don't need rules
with skolem ft's in their conclusions)
and all test cases are then still OK.

This is not the inference I said did not follow.  I said that the empty
knowledge base does not entail

           rdfs:Class rdf:type _:i .
           _:i owl:intersectionOf _:l .
           _:l rdf:first rdfs:Class .
           _:l rdf:rest rdf:nil .

if owl:Class is not a superset of rdfs:Class.
This is very different from your example.
