General Role Inclusion with OWL can simply be encoded. One can for instance state the hasFriendsFoe
Property is a ObjectProperty
which has also the owl:PropertyChainAxiom
which means that one defines a General Property Chain or a General Role Inclusion of two simple Properties where one connects hasFriend
with hasFoe
.
This only applies to Object Properties as it does not make sense to apply it to Datatype Properties.
OWL enables Property Chaining (general property inclusion)
:hasFriends a owl:ObjectProperty ; owl:PropertyChainAxiom ( :hasFriend :hasFoe ) .
Not allowed for Datatype Properties
