RE: Open Issues: DR scope

Hi Andrea,

What puzzles me is the need for owl:equivalentClass, and rdfs:subClassOf
(without an rdf:resource). My (admittedly poor) understanding was that
using equivalentClass you would have:

1  <owl:Class rdf:ID="ResourceOnExampleDotOrg">
2    <owl:equivalentClass>
3        <owl:Restriction>
4            <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="&wdr;includeHost" />
5            <owl:hasValue>example.org</owl:hasValue>
6          </owl:Restriction>
7   </owl:equivalentClass>
8 </owl:Class> 

(ref [1])

...and that if you used subClassOf you would do something like (note
insertion of rdf:ID="AllResources"):

1  <owl:Class rdf:ID="ResourceOnExampleDotOrg">
4    <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:ID="AllResources">
5       <owl:Restriction>
6         <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="&wdr;includeHost" />
7          <owl:hasValue>example.org</owl:hasValue>
8         </owl:Restriction>
9    </rdfs:subClassOf>
12 </owl:Class>

(ref [2])

I'm sure your example is correct, I'm just not sure why - please could
you help my understanding :)

Cheers
Kevin

Subject: Open Issues: DR scope


I would like again to ask for feedback about an issue which must be
urgently solved, that is, how the scope of a DR is defined.

The current solution is the following:

1  <owl:Class rdf:ID="ResourceOnExampleDotOrg">
2    <owl:equivalentClass>
3      <owl:Class>
4        <rdfs:subClassOf>
5          <owl:Restriction>
6            <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="&wdr;includeHost" />
7            <owl:hasValue>example.org</owl:hasValue>
8          </owl:Restriction>
9        </rdfs:subClassOf>
10     </owl:Class>
11   </owl:equivalentClass>
12 </owl:Class>

which literally means "all the resources having a URI host component
ending with example.org" (i.e., "all the resources hosted by
*.example.org").

So, the question is: does anybody agree that this the correct way to
define a DR scope? If it isn't, which are the alternative solutions?
