Subject: RE: [xdi] $has semantics continued
To that end, #2 in both of Drummond's examples should I think be =bill+car and +hinge+screw. I don't understand the #3 examples, can you explain them more, i.e. what are you trying to show with the resolution equivalence? My thought is that we have 3 types of relationships: meta (X makes statement Y), containment (X has Y), and composition (the Y of X). Does that sound right to everyone, am I missing any? I need to give this more thought when I have time later.

Here's a quick summary: ENGLISH XDI 1) Bill has a car =bill/+car 2) Bill’s car =bill(+car) 3) Bill has car == Bill car (=bill/+car) == =bill+car Here's a second example: 1) hinge has a screw +hinge/+screw 2) hinge’s screw +hinge(+screw) 3) hinge has screw == hinge screw (+hinge/+screw) == +hinge+screw I think this illustrates: a) your point that all three are different concepts (and that we needed a distinct way to express "Bill's car" or "hinge's screw", which I did not understand), and b) my point that in each line 3 above, the two statements have both logical and resolution equivalence. What's even more illustrative is that this three patterns each have their corresponding cell graphs. If you look at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/35926/xdi-rdf-cell-graphs-v3.pdf, example 1 correspond to graph A4, example 2 corresponds to graph A7, and example 3 corresponds to graph B1. I look forward to talking tomorrow. =Drummond
