Hi all,

I'm looking to define a few Datatype's, and wondered why 
owl:equivalentClass is used for all complex types in the 
primer/documentation.

For example what's the difference between:

:personAge  owl:equivalentClass
   [ rdf:type  rdfs:Datatype;
     owl:onDatatype  xsd:integer;
     owl:withRestrictions (
      [ xsd:minInclusive  "0"^^xsd:integer ]
      [ xsd:maxInclusive  "150"^^xsd:integer ]
     )
   ] .

and:

:personAge rdf:type  rdfs:Datatype;
   owl:onDatatype  xsd:integer;
   owl:withRestrictions (
    [ xsd:minInclusive  "0"^^xsd:integer ]
    [ xsd:maxInclusive  "150"^^xsd:integer ]
   ) .

Is the second example valid, any reasons not to do it, what am I missing 
here?

TIA,

Nathan
