Any such inference is at the RDFS layer. For processing, you may find it easier to coerce most things to arrays, but that’s up to your implementation. > and now, the part that I’m not so sure about: > > • sort the type/class term(s) lexicographically > • check the active context for mappings for these terms > • if any matching term definitions are found to contain an embedded context, supplant the active context with a merged copy. > > Did I read that right?
