Hi, I have this problem with comprehending how entailment rules are constructed for RDFS concerning "everything is a resource". There are rules rdfs4a and rdf4b which state that subject and object of every triple are resources. These rules seem to me as special cases of rdfs2 and rdfs3 which are saying that subject/object of a triple can be assinged a type according to defined domain/range of a property in a triple. Only condition is that It would have to be given that for every property, its domain and range is class of all resources. Btw. It is noted in RDF Semantics in section 7.3.1 "Extensional Semantic Rules" that they have exactly this consequence (that domain and range of every property is rdfs:Resource). Although I don't see how it's possibly from rules that are listed, it's evident from extensional semantic conditions in section 4.2. I would really appreciate if someone could explain rationale behind this to me. Thank you very much. Svatopluk Šperka
