Correct? /Roger Yes. If you say that f-stop has a domain of class 'Camera', you're claiming that it makes sense (ie. is consistent) to apply f-stop properties to resources that are members of that class. "Sub-class" just says that one set of resources is a subset of another. So we know that if a resource is of type SLR, and all SLRs are Cameras (ie. SLR--subClassOf-->Camera), then that resource is also a camera. And if its a camera, we can use properties applicable to cameras on it. Dan xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
