Whoops! I originally only sent this reply to Manuel by mistake so here's a less concise definition... ---- IFP stands for inverse-functional property. See http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/ It means that a property is "owned" by only one thing. There are more mathematical ways of saying it too of course. Email addresses in FOAF are considered to be IFP: each person can have multiple email addresses (not functional) but each email address can have only one owner (functional) - in FOAF it is required that email addresses are only used by one person which is not always true in reality of course.
