Re: SEM: common class concept

I could see it better when a DL reasoner *finds* the
given classes and things separated that it could do
decidable reasoning. There is no point in trying to
have an absolute owl:Class and owl:Thing as someone
could come along and declare a class as instance and
as such destroy that absolute separation.
I think DL is question of implementation.

Something that is an owl:Class is apparently *not*
an owl:Thing in OWL DL, whereas it *is* in OWL Full:

  ex:x rdf:type owl:Class.
=>
  ex:x rdf:type owl:Thing.

I'm not seeing it anymore when trying to interoperate
with DL unless there's a clear common class concept
(rtf:type).
