as an interested listener to your discussion, may I ask you to,  
instead of your "similar to mKR" notation, just use the common RDF/OWL  
vocabulary, i.e.,

x rdf:type y
a rdfs:subClassOf b

to avoid confusion. These terms are understandable to (probably) all  
readers of the list, and they are well defined.

Looking forward to that.
