Hi! In the reverse RDF-Mapping of owl:hasKey, there is no constraint on the size of the argument list. This means that a key axiom may be defined for the empty set of properties. Also, it looks to me that the empty set is allowed in the Structural Specification (Functional Syntax), either. I don't think that empty key axioms are particularly useful, and I can see that they have peculiar semantic ramifications. So I propose to require at least one property for key axioms in both the Structural Spec and the reverse RDF-Mapping. Cheers, Michael -- Dipl.-Inform. Michael Schneider Research Scientist, Dept.
