Dear working group,

I believe there is an error in:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-rdf-based-semantics/

In "Table 6.5: Additional Axiomatic Triples for Classes and Properties 
of the RDFS Vocabulary" there is the axiomatic statement:

     rdf:Property rdfs:subClassOf owl:ObjectProperty .

I believe it should be the other way round:

     owl:ObjectProperty rdfs:subClassOf rdf:Property .

This would make more sense to me and be consistent with:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#Property

where it states:

     "Both owl:ObjectProperty and owl:DatatypeProperty are subclasses of 
the RDF class rdf:Property"

Please advise,
barry
