I think in general the use of domain and range is perhaps a bit "dubious" in that for many things I think it is overly specified. I can imagine anyone re-using the Dbpedia properties getting some unexpected inferences from the domain and range restrictions. Also the range restriction seem to be done as an OWL intersection so if, for example, something has a publisher x then x will be inferred to be both a Company and a Person which is probably not what you want. Personally, in all but a few cases, I'd be tempted to generalise or just remove the domain/range restrictions. Any thoughts? john .
