Re: Semantic Predication: 1 - basic distinctions

Hi Enrico,

Regarding Singleton Properties, I am not actually sure that your idea with the :spouse-1 and :spouse-2 properties in
your example was the same as the idea of Singleton Properties (as Thomas' comment suggests it was). Or maybe it was?

To understand whether it was or not, let me ask you the following question. Was your intention with the :spouse-1
property to represent a "first-spouse" relationship that can also be used between other couples? In other words, was
your intended meaning of :spouse-1 such that, in addition to the triple (:liz, :spouse-1, :richard), there could also be
a triple such as (:alice, :spouse-1, :bob)?

If that's the case, then this is something else than Singleton Properties.

Best,
Olaf
