RE: Technical change to the RDFS MT (test cases in n3)

I've tested those 2 testcases and had a proof found
after adding following 2 closure rules

--------------------------------------------------------
        | IF                       |  THEN
--------------------------------------------------------
:rule11 | ?A rdfs:subClassOf ?B .  |
        | ?p rdfs:domain ?A .      | ?p rdfs:domain ?B .
--------------------------------------------------------
:rule12 | ?A rdfs:subClassOf ?B .  |
        | ?p rdfs:range ?A .       | ?p rdfs:range ?B .
--------------------------------------------------------

Domain & range test case, in n3, will RDF/XML latter.

1:[[

eg:prop rdfs:range eg:A .
eg:A rdfs:subClassOf eg:B .

rdfs-entails

eg:prop rdfs:range eg:B .
]]

(i.e. in english,
every object of a eg:prop is an eg:A.
every eg:A is an eg:B,
thus
every object of an eg:prop is an eg:B).

Similarly

2: [[
eg:prop rdfs:domain eg:A .
eg:A rdfs:subClassOf eg:B .

rdfs-entails

eg:prop rdfs:domain eg:B .
]]


As Jan says, maybe we have misspelt rdfs:subSetOf.

If we don't have this, Peter has to work harder anyway; and doing it four
times over is about the same as doing it once. So if Pat is changing his
mind on these ones, I would tend to want to leave the subClassOf ones alone
too.
