As I started to formulate definitions of the Classes in the TAP KB, I soon began to question whether my assumptions about disjoint subClasses were valid. A hierarchy outline (subClass relations) of the top levels of the TAP KB is given in
http://rhm.cdepot.net/knowledge/application/SemanticWeb/TAP/tap.ho
Looking at this hierarchy, several question come to mind immediately.
For example:
1. is Agent a subClass of Tangible? or is it excluded by "definition"?
2. is Class a subClass of Intangible? or is it excluded by "definition"?
3. is PopularCharacter a subClass of Intangible? (they all seem be fictional)
I would appreciate some guidance on the rationale behind the current set of Classes.
