(In > some cases it might be better thought of as a property restriction, I suppose.) properties might be chosen if there are one or more instances for fillers, if the feature in question is only yes/no or respectively given by check-box style answers (which applies to the majority of questions), then a simple taxonomy of classes does better in my opinion (with the adavantage that even RDFS suffices, i.e. if we need properties, convince me first, pleaase ;-) ) > The subclass hierarchy corresponds to the nesting/chaining of > descriminators Hassan wants.
