I attached three tests related to the mapping rule: restriction(ID component1 … componentn) (With at least two components) => _:x owl:intersectionOf T(SEQ(restriction(ID component1) … restriction(ID componentn))) . The first test (101) shows a simple application of this rule. According to both the AS&S WD and the S&AS editors draft this is OWL Lite. This rule is the only way on OWL Lite of introducing a bNode that looks somewhat like a description. Other use of intersectionOf in OWL Lite is on named classes. Other class like bNodes are all of type owl:Restriction. This rule is very fragile, when used backwards. The second test 102 shows has changed an rdf:Description in test 101 to an owl:Class. Since this node is the subject of owl:intersectionOf and the object of rdf:type, this should be relatively innocuous - instead it means that the construct now can only correspond to an abstract syntax description and is hence in OWL DL. The third test 103 again exhinits the fragility of this rule, since the only change is one #p is replaced by a #q. Again this is enough to make the construct a description rather than a multipart restriction - and hence this file too is in OWL DL according to the published docs. This is fixed in my work on syntax by simply not allowing multipart restrictions in the abstract syntax. http://sealpc09.cnuce.cnr.it/jeremy/owl-syntax/2003-12-Feb/intro.html Another possible fix is to: - simply delete the mapping rule. Then not all abstract syntaxes can be mapped, which would need editorial comment, but is non-fatal to the overall design. This fix can also be applied to the EquivalentZZZ's rules and the DisjointClasses rules - only have them defined for two elements. Some abstract syntaxes then cannot be mapped, but are semantically equivalent to ones that can. Jeremy
