entail

From RDF Semantics (2004-02-10) | Glossary for this source

(v.), (n.). A semantic relationship between expressions which holds whenever the truth of the first guarantees the truth of the second. Equivalently, whenever it is logically impossible for the first expression to be true and the second one false. Equivalently, when any interpretation which satisfies the first also satisfies the second. (Also used between a set of expressions and an expression.)
