rdfs-constraining-containers, rdfs-container-membership-superProperty from Jeremy Carroll on 2002-04-11 (w3c-rdfcore-wg@w3.org from April 2002) (original) (raw)

I suggest we resolve the rdfs-container-membership-superProperty by defining one: e.g. rdfs:contains

I suggest we then declare rdfs-constraining-containers as out of scope on the basis that it can be addressed by DAML+OIL. All indications are that OWL will contrinue to address this issue.

The DAML+OIL mantra is:

<daml:Restriction rdf:ID="ConstrainedContainer"> rdfs:comment This is the class of resources all of whose rdfs:contains edges point to a resource of type eg:ElementsConstrainedToThisClass. To have a Bag, a Seq or an Alt with such a constrained declare the resource to have both type Bag and type ConstrainedContainer. Alternatively construct a new class that subclasses both this class and the desired container class. <daml:onProperty rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#contains"/> <daml:toClass rdf:resource="http://example.org/ElementsConstrainedToThisClass"/>
