allDisjoint-RDF

RESOLVED: No syntax for AllDisjoint in RDF mapping

State:
CLOSED

Description:
See:

Since AllDisjoint is (important) syntactic sugar, the lack thereof essentially eliminates it from the 
RDF syntax. The trade-off is backwards compatibility. [But this is a desired backward 
incompatability :)]

Related notes:

2007-10-30 16:00:52: Note: it is important to realize that AllDisjoint is not the same as DisjointUnion, the first simply states that a number of classes are separate, the latter necessarily means that something in the DisjointUnion must be in one of those classes - these are not semantically identical. [James Hendler]

2007-10-30 18:14:48: I don't think that the issue is that the RDF syntax is missing functionality, just that it is missing some possibly useful syntactic sugar, similar to owl:AllDifferent. I seem to remember that the WebOnt WG considered adding owl:AllDisjoint but decided that it was not sufficiently useful to add. The reason for adding owl:AllDifferent was that there could be *very* large groups of individual names being stated to be different, as in, e.g., a unique names assumption axiom. [Peter Patel-Schneider]

2007-11-11 10:26:17: RESOLUTION: AllDisjoint will be added to the functional syntax and the RDF mapping
