A possible cause of concern is that rdfs:subClassOf may >be named a little confusingly; you can try reading it as 'superClass' >instead, ie. it points from a more specific class (eg. people) to a >more general class (eg. agents, things etc). I read it as 'is a subclass of' which seems to make intuitive sense. The use of the final "Of" is intended to suggest this reading, I believe.
