Hi Frank,

 

After having defined all owl:Classes in OWL Full I am now confronted with
the question whether I should represent all individuals either:

-         with owl:Thing and rdf:type them with the applicable OWL Classes,
or:

-         in the RDF style, and rdf:type them with the applicable OWL
Classes

Can you shed some light on this? Are there advantages/disadvantages, or does
it not matter?

 

Regards,

Hans
