Hi Tanel --

Actually, there's are a rather straightforward, pragmatic solution to these
kinds of questions.
The basic idea is, don't try to hard code everything you need about the real
world in a fixed system of logic. (Most OWL folks seem to assume you have
to do
this.)
Instead, tie some lightweight natural language processing to logical rules, so
that people can see what the predicates are supposed to mean in the real world.

Can you show an example? Or better yet, write it and run it in the online
system [1] ?
