Re: Time for quintuples?

Hi,

I also found* some interesting resource[1,2] re. property reification.

So the abstraction of this rule looks then like this (see [3]):

{
	?p a :ReifiedProperty ;
		:reificationClass ?rc ;
		:subjectProperty ?sp ;
		:objectProperty ?op .

	?r a ?rc ;
		?sp ?s ;
		?op ?o .
}
=>
{ ?s ?p ?o } .

However, then we need to make N3 rules** as a common available Semantic 
Web technology, or we have to introduce the terms of the Property 
Reification Vocabulary somehow as annotations terms for ontologies.

Cheers,


Bob


*I'm every time surprised, when I found a quite good resource, which 
treat my issues, after a while (!). Sometimes (often) it is like to look 
for a needle in a haystack (which has a quite bad performance :\). I 
think that can't be the truth, or? (especially, if one "only" like to 
apply some technology, rather reinventing the things)

**can I deliver N3 rules as part of my ontology definition?
