MultidimensionalObject in OWL

Is it true that we don't have in Part 8 standard representation of an instance of MultidimensionalObject (or its subtypes) in RDF/OWL? We can build a representation of LIST analogous to template description, but we have to standardize it separately.

Is it worth to do it, or we just need a set of templates for 2,3,4,... dimensional objects without any need ever to expand them to Part 2 level?

MultidimensionalObject and ClassOfMultidimensionalObject cause problems in OWL, because OWL has problems with handling lists (see for example http://www.co-ode.org/resources/tutoria ... _11_05.ppt).

That is the reason why in Part 8 there is no mapping to OWL of MultidimensionalObject or ClassOfMultidimensionalObject. Instead we have that template model (see http://www.infowebml.ws/descr/templates ... plates.htm)

In the template definitions I have done what you suggested, i.e. created various subtypes of ClassOfMultidimensionalObject with role1, role2, etc and MultidimensionalObject with element1, element2, etc.

Anybody who knows a better solution is welcome to contribute this.

Oh my god! CoMO do exist in RDL and are represented in OWL. All initial set templates are in RDL. With OWLList used for roles.

Hans,

I've a question about http://www.infowebml.ws/descr/templates ... plates.htm

I feel there are really no such things as p7tm:Template or p7tm:BaseTemplate. They are exactly the same things as p7tm:TemplateStatement and p7tm:BaseTemlateStatement. Their introduction as separate level in classification chain really breaks Part 2 typing.

Hi Victor,

That stuff has been replaced with a new proposal that can be found at http://www.15926.org/publications/templ ... /index.htm

Please look at it and decide whether your question still holds.

Regards,
Hans
