Code | P28: Defining wrong symmetric relationships |
Description | A relationship is defined as symmetric when the relationship is not necessarily symmetric. |
Appears in | SymmetricProperty(continuous_with) |
Reason | the domain of continuous_with is different from the range of continuous_with (‘Material Anatomical Entity’ vs. ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’). |
Other useful information | subClassOf(‘Material Anatomical Entity’, ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’) |
Implications | Let ‘Material Anatomical Entity’(x), ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’(y), continuous_with(x,y). Due to SymmetricProperty(continuous_with), the reasoner infers that ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’(x) and ‘Material Anatomical Entity’(y) |
Correction | Change the domain of continuous_with to ‘Material Anatomical Entity’. |
Code | P05: Defining wrong inverse relationships |
Description | Two relationships are defined as inverse relationships when they are not necessarily inverse. |
Appears in | inverseOf(continuous_with,continuous_with) |
Reason | the domain of continuous_with is different from the range of continuous_with (‘Material Anatomical Entity’ vs. ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’). |
Implications | Let ‘Material Anatomical Entity’(x), ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’(y), continuous_with(x,y). Due to inverseOf(continuous_with,continuous_with), the reasoner infers that ‘Physical Anatomical Entity’(x) and ‘Material Anatomical Entity’(y) |
Correction | This pitfall corrects itself as a result of correcting pitfall P25 (see Table 5) |
