Named Individuals of SubClasses

One aspect of the paper that could help us in the current ODRL Ontology design about Actions being Named Individuals or SubClasses of Action...

Section 4.6 talks about ExtractChar being a specialisation of Extract (with a constraint).

Hence ExtractChar can be modelled as the {1} Extract action _with_ a Constraint of "characters <= 100" (for example).

Hence, we don't really need to define the ExtractChar action, with the above.

But..if the ONIX community wanted such a concept (where this came from), then they could define a new action with {1} above.

Question, can  this be done with our Actions as Subclasses and/or Named Individuals ?

Cheers...
