Hello, I have already read the document entitled “Defining N-ary Relations on the Semantic Web” which is available on the following link <http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-n-aryRelations/>. I want to define supervisor as a property having domain and range person. This property carries data defining where and when this relationship (supervisor) was established. In order to infer the inverse property, i associate the /OWL:inverseOf/ apprentice to supervisor. I want to define the supervisor property as a sub property of a more generic relationship called /knows/ as defined in the FOAF schema. I use the reification method to represent all this information as follow: The problem that the management of the blank node is very complicated. My question is there a solution to represent a property as a class in such a way that the class keeps the characteristics of the property (i.e., transitivity, inverse, symmetry etc) without representing the blank node? Waiting your response, Beast regards, Sonia -- ---------------------------------------- Sonia LAJMI ---ATER Université Jean Monnet ---Faculté des sciences de Saint Etienne PHD student Université de Lyon Laboratoire LIRIS (UMR 5205) 7 avenue Jean capelle Bur. 501.315 Bât.
