;; Modeller: Boontawee Suntisrivaraporn, meng@tcs.inf.tu-dresden.de ;; Date: March 5, 2007 ;; Description: a toy example illustrating the use of reflexivity and transitivity assertions on roles. In particular, part-of MUST be declared transitive so that the classification system can take care of transitivity reasoning. Part and whole of some entity could be referred to by the new role, part-whole-of, which is designed to replace the needs for S-nodes in the SEP-triplet modelling technique. ;; Tweak&Try: Compare the inferred concept hierarchy with that without the reflexitivity assertion.
