[sc34wg3] The TMRM and the OWL....

[Jan Algermissen]

Hi,

OWL lets you state 'this property is an SIDP'....did anybody know this?


"For example, if a property such as SocialSecurityNumber is an  
owl:InverseFunctionalProperty, then two separate individuals could be  
inferred to be identical based on having the same value of that  
property. When individuals are determined to be the same by such  
means, information about them from different sources can be merged. "

( http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#Privacy )


Effectively, this provides for non-URI identifiers (keys) in OWL- 
land...interesting.

Jan
