RESOLVED: object property chains in triples: confusion of list with property

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Raised by:
Jeremy Carroll
Opened on:

Description:
The rule

SubObjectPropertyOf(
subObjectPropertyChain(op1 ... opn)
op)
=>

T(SEQ op1 ... opn) SUBPROPERTYOF[op1,...,opn,op] T(op)

seems to give a resource which is a list a property extension.

Is this wise?

Would adding an additional property e.g.
owl11:propertyFromChain
to link an unknown property to the list of properties that are being chained together be better.

If not, at what point in an OWL Full semantics does a list of properties get the semantics of a property chain?

Resolved at TC 2007.11.28 with solution offered in Boris Motik's note: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Nov/0391.htm

Instead of owl11:propertyFromChain, I would simply call it owl11:propertyChain: the semantics of <x owl11:propertyChain LIST[y1 ... yn]> would then be "the extension of x is obtained by chaining together y1, ..., yn". In OWL 1.1 Full one could use this everywhere, and not just in the rdfs:subPropertyOf. (In the DL version, however, we'll have to disallow such free usage of owl11:propertyChain.)l
