I have created an ontology based on:
Every person is beautiful if one of his/her parents is beautiful
Aphrodite is a parent of Eros
Aphrodite is beautiful
thus we would expect Eros to be beautiful too! However, the Pellet reasoner doesn't seem to infer that. If I manually put the type of Eros to successful, it will accept it, but shouldn't it infer it?
My ontology lies here (change the extension to .owl). I am also providing screenshots from Protege:
Class hierarchy:
Eros:
Inferred class hierarchy:
What am I missing?
EDIT:
I can see Eros appearing in this DL query:
hasParent some Beautiful
but not in this:
hasParent exactly 1 Beautiful
but still even if I say OK for some
, I would expect to see Beautiful as I see Child in my 2nd picture, where Child is inferred by the reasoner.
What about the HermiT reasoner (built-in with protege) ?
UDPATE:
Ok, here is a new ontology I wrote based on your assignment (though, I didn't complete all sentences just the ones that suffice to infer that Eros is happy).
For the RDF/XML syntax see this pastebin link
Now the reasoner will certainly infer that both Aphrodite and Eros are happy, although that was never asserted in the ontology above.
Here is a DL query for Happy concept that shows the result, "notice we just query which instances belongs to Happy
concept":
Eros is finally happy :)
Here is the same ontology in Manchester syntax
Ontology: <beautiful>
ObjectProperty: <beautiful#hasChild>
Class: <beautiful#Happy>
EquivalentTo:
<beautiful#Person>
and (<beautiful#hasChild> only <beautiful#Beautiful>),
<beautiful#Beautiful>
and <beautiful#Person>
Class: <beautiful#Beautiful>
Class: <beautiful#Successful>
EquivalentTo:
<beautiful#Beautiful>
and <beautiful#Successful>
Class: <beautiful#Child>
Class: <beautiful#Parent>
Class: <beautiful#Person>
Individual: <beautiful#Aphrodite>
Types:
<beautiful#Beautiful>,
<beautiful#Parent>,
<beautiful#Person>
Facts:
<beautiful#hasChild> <beautiful#Eros>
Individual: <beautiful#Eros>
Types:
<beautiful#Successful>,
<beautiful#Person>
MORE UPDATE:
DL query on Beautiful shows Eros as Beautiful too:
Hope it helps.
