No, not transitive. entity(customerOnRedChair, [prov:location="the red chair in the cafe"]) entity(paoloInCafe) entity(stianInCafe) entity(paolo) entity(stian) specializationOf(paoloInCafe, paolo) specializationOf(stianInCafe, stian) alternateOf(paoloInCafe, customerOnRedChair) alternateOf(stianInCafe, customerOnRedChair) but we probably don't want to then infer: alternateOf(paoloInCafe, stianInCafe) and certainly not: alternateOf(paolo, stian) .. neither did overlap the old characterisation intervals, and are different 'things' in the world. however, if Paolo and Stian did not sit anywhere else but in the red chair, we can also have: specializationOf(paoloInCafe, customerOnRedChair)specializationOf(stianInCafe, customerOnRedChair) this implies that for the duration of paoloInCafe, it was also customerOnRedChair. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester
