You're assuming arity-of-a- class and arity-of-a-property are the same thing. I'm guessing you mean the first to be number-of-instances (of a class) and the second to be number-of-values (of a property, for some individual). One could argue those are not the same thing at all. So we can pun (overload, use ambiguously) either the subject or the predicate, but not both, I think. -- sandroReceived on Friday, 26 July 2002 07:49:54 UTC
