Re: S36 implementation details

Thank you, Antoine!

Did I understand correctly, that S36 is a convention and not implemented in the source file?

Best,
Frederik

PS: Sorry for replying directly, didn’t realize it won’t go to the mailing list.

Which has me wondering if a transitive property in place of rdf:rest positioned inside an owl:propertyChainAxiom — like so: ex:member owl:propertyChainAxiom (ex:rest ref:first) would achieve the desired effect.
