Hi! Can anyone please confirm or refute the following assumptions? I believe that OWL 2 DL allows to pun on ontology IRIs. For example, it seems to be syntactically allowed (or better: not forbidden) to write: ex:o rdf:type owl:Ontology . ex:C rdf:type owl:Class . ex:p rdf:type owl:ObjectProperty . ex:o rdf:type ex:C . ex:o ex:p ex:foo . I further believe that the latter two axioms would have semantic consequences, since they actually seem to be assertions about some regular individual referred to by the IRI "ex:o". As a use case, this would make sense if an ontology contains ontology "annotations" using the DC vocabulary terms, while (re-)declaring the different DC terms to be regular classes, object properties, and data properties.
