And AFAICS, nobody here in this thread has given an example for SelfRestrictions, yet. I thought about it yesterday evening for a while, but could not come up with any serious example. Well, besides this standard toy class of "SelfLovers", wherein property "loves" is thought to behave transitively. ;-) It's easier for me to imagine that antisymmetry and ireflexivity could become important, because, in combination with transitivity, I am able to more precisely model all kinds of partial orderings between instances, like e.g. ancestor relationships between people or events, or inclusion relationships like "locatedIn"/"containedIn" between geographical regions. But where is the "killer application" for owl11:SelfRestriction? Michael
