All,

I was reviewing the wine ontology and had questions about a couple things. (Other than the winery named McGuinesso which seems to have been named after a certain person at Stanford University and Congress Springs Winery which is now named Savannah-Chanelle.) The other somewhat more relevant issue is that at the end of the ontology is a list of <owl:AllDifferent> which contains the following:
      <vin:Winery rdf:about="#Marietta" />
      <vin:Winery rdf:about="#Marietta" />
      <vin:Winery rdf:about="#Marietta" />
      <vin:Winery rdf:about="#Marietta" />
along with a bunch of other names, many of them repeated. Is that valid OWL? Seems odd in that it logically it would be saying that a class is different than itself.
