In the presentation syntax, IndividualType is specified as:

<xsd:complexType name="IndividualType">
  <xsd:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xsd:choice>
      <xsd:element name="type" type="owl:ClassIDType" />
      <xsd:element name="ObjectPropertyValue"
                   type="owl:IndividualPropertyValueType" />
      <xsd:element name="DataPropertyValue"
                   type="owl:DataPropertyValueType" />
    </xsd:choice>
  </xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:attribute name="name" type="owl:IndividualName" />
</xsd:complexType>

This means that individuals can only be given types which are named
classes, rather than arbitrary class descriptions. Is this right?

Incidentally, the link to the zip archive of the schemas in [1] is broken.
