Re: missing (and incorrect) RDFS axioms

Pat, I'm not sure about the following, but I met them in
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/Schema/200211/
and I think I would go for them

rdfs:Container a rdfs:Class .

which would then also carry

  rdf:Alt rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Container .
  rdf:Bag rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Container .
  rdf:Seq rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Container .
  rdfs:member rdfs:domain rdfs:Container .


rdfs:isDefinedBy rdfs:subPropertyOf rdfs:seeAlso .
rdfs:label rdfs:range rdfs:Literal .
rdfs:seeAlso rdf:type rdf:Property . ## trivially true
rdf:value rdf:type rdf:Property .    ## trivially true


which would then bring us to 30 classes/properties

remark that when it is stated that
  some-class rdfs:subClassOf some-orher-class .
then it is per rdfs rule2 and
  rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:domain rdfs:Class .
not necessary to state that
  some-class a rdfs:Class.

similarly, it is not necessary to say that
  some-property a rdf:Property .
per rdfs rule1
(unless we have nothing else to say)

and also it is not necessary to state that
  some-property rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource .
  some-property rdfs:range rdfs:Resource .
as we have that
  anything a rdfs:Resource .
also per rule4a and rule4b

Anyone on the WG, do y'all agree with Peter at @@@ below?? If someone
says yes and nobody objects,  I will put these entailments into the
MT. You have until the end of Monday.

Hmmm, not sure I agree. I'm perfectly happy for a property to have no
domain or range. The strengthened OWL rules for d&r will insert the
rdfs:Resource ranges automatically in any case, given the rdfs4 rules
and a bit of OWL reasoning.

>I think that it is worst to give some properties a

I agree about that, it needs tidying up and we should go one way or
the other. My own preference would be to just not mention vacuous
domains and ranges at all.

Other lines below have comments.

follows from  (x a CMP -> x subprop rdfs:member) and domain of subproperty.

I don't like the above. I don't think seeAlso *is* a property; if it
is, what's in its property extension??

I wasn't aware of that subproperty connection: is there a source for that?

Invalid, given the restriction on subClassOf to classes. The old rule
7 is correct.
