I'm getting a bit worried about the A-box/T-box discussions. We have "classes as instances" on our requirements list. We use it a lot in our (RDFS-based) applications, for example: rosch:natural-category rfs:type rdfs:Class aat:seating-furniture rdf:type rdfsClass aat:chair rdf:type rosch:natural-category aat:chair rdfs:SubClassOf aar:seating-furniture In words: a "chair" is a subclass of "seating furniture" (in the Art and Architecture Thesaurus) and an instance of a Roschian "natural category" (important meta-info for index/search purposes). Does this still mean something using dark triples? Guus -- A. Th.
