Hi all,

I was looking at the object properties, and noted that many do not
have domains and ranges defined, such as 'has_attribute'... is that
deliberate? Are those added axiomatically? If so, how can I get the
reasoner to do that? I tried reasoning with HermiT, but that did not
add such information, so it does not seem to be inherited from
somewhere...

Hello,

It's not deliberate, just an omission... You can add them as per the paper if you're busy there anyway? If not I will do it in a few days.

Cheers, Janna

Something like this:

CHEMINF_000200 (has attribute):
domain: CHEMINF_000000 (chemical entity)
range: IAO_000028 (data item)

CHEMINF_000143 (is descriptor of)
domain: CHEMINF_000123 (chemical descriptor)
range: specifically_dependent_continuant (this one is already axiomized)

Good. I counter propose:

'has attribute' is the domain of any entity (owl:Thing), but yes, 'data item' seems appropriate as a range.

'is descriptor of' would probably also have 'data item' as a domain, rather than the more restrictive 'chemical descriptor'

Most welcome! Mine was just an initial guess, based on what the paper writes...

For example, referring to 'data item' is actually as listed in the draft...

The manuscript should then be updated accordingly, and perhaps labels
too... I'll get back on this. I still need to look at other properties
too...
