[Question] Replace a data property value with SWRL ? #58

Closed thomakl closed 5 years ago

thomakl commented 5 years ago

Hi, I read a lot of posts mentioning that SWRL does not support data property values replacement (See link from 2015). Is there a way around to do it (since then) ?

Thank you for your time,

I would post these sorts of questions to the Protege mailing list:

https://protege.stanford.edu/support.php

There is a large community there that can offer a range of answers to questions like this.

To answer your question: like OWL, SWRL supports monotonic reasoning only. It would not really be the appropriate language to do what you are trying to do here.

See:

I see. I'll try to ask the community about a way to counter this restriction with other methods. Thank you for your time,

I would first search the mailing list for previous discussions.

A search for the term 'monotonic' could lead you to some relevant discussions.
