The OWL 2 Full semantics of Named Individual declarations.

The class owl:NamedIndividual is new to OWL 2. It is used for declaring named (in contrast to anonymous) individuals in OWL 2 DL. In OWL 2 Full, named individual axioms simply provide an alternative way to state that a given entity is an individual.

Note: In OWL Full it cannot be avoided to have "named" individual axioms with a bNode on the LHS.
