Motivation | Prior to OWL 2 negative property assertions (NPA) are difficult to model and, if it they are contained in an ontology, difficult to understand by humans. On the other side, using OWL 2 one can transform these helping axioms modeling NPAs into OWL2 NPA axiom.
This pattern describe NPA for ontologies not containing explicit NPA axioms as syntactical sugars and allows for transforming axioms into OWL NPA axioms. |
---|---|
Aim | Expressing NPAs in ontologies prior to OWL 2 as well as given an transformation rule when using OWL 2. |
Solution description | NegativeObjectPropertyAssertion(i1 prop i2) is equivalent to:
SubClassOf(ObjectOneOf(i1), ObjectComplementOf(ObjectSomeValuesFrom(prop, ObjectOneOf(i2))))) |
Elements | Individiual i1
Individual i2 ObjectProperty prop |
