Re: RDF vs the rest of the world

     


      Range and Domain are not constraints means that if you have an object
*obj* that is an instance of the class A and you have a property P that has
domain the class B and you say that (obj P y) automatically you have that obj is
an istance of the class B. You do not have an error like : "type missmatch for
object obj".

      obj inherits from both class A and B but there is just one assertion with
      rdf:type and subject obj.


      Does it make sense?
