Why would it have to be that for _blank ---relationR--> <http://bblfish.net/> |------owner-------> "Henry Story" to entail [1] the graph <http://bblfish.net> ----owner----> "Henry Story" _blank and <http://bblfish.net/> only need to be in the same classes? Is that because you are assuming that elements of the same class share all the properties of the class? And so that if blank is in the same class as <http://bblfish.net/> then they both have the same relation of owner to "Henry Story"? But I think an element can be part of an infinite number of classes. Or is there some other reason I have not understood. Henry Story [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entailment
