However, given that the issue is "*no* cycles in subClassOf" the problem appears to be that there *is* a prohibition :-) Fine: change the wording to "to resolve issue rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf by deleting the restriction prohibiting cycles of subClassOf properties, with the meaning of a cycle of subClassOf properties being an assertion that the classes involved have the same members." -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
