Re: reifiesDomain-14 (Re: proposal: a reifier should reify only one "thing")

Kurt Cagle <kurt.cagle@gmail.com>:  <<#marriage1 | :liz :marries :richard>> a :Event;         :bride :liz ;         :groom :richard ;         :startYear 1964 ;         :endYear 1975 ;         .   This works in the case where Liz later marries Bob:   <<#marriage2 | :liz :marries :robert>> a :Event;         :bride :liz ;         :groom :robert ;         :startYear 1977 ;         :endYear 1981 ;         .   But gets into trouble when Liz and Richard decide to remarry:   <<#marriage3 | :liz :marries :richard>> a :Event;         :bride :liz ;         :groom :richard ;         :startYear 1985 ;         .   This is actually an error that arises in LPGs, because they have no way of differentiating #marriage1 from #marriage3.    It's not true.   Most PG definitions or implementations allow you to create two edges with the same label and different properties.   Best,  Dominik
