Well, this is a conundrum. As you know, if anything is inconsistent in DL, then everything logically follows. What do you expect the behavior of the reasoner and the query engine to be in such a case? Some sort of bounds around inconsistencies? If so, how to set the bounds. It's been my e

This is a debugging problem, but not a deployment problem. If one's data is inconsistent one needs to fix it. Usually such inconsistencies are either errors in the data that need to be fixed, or indications that one needs to get clearer about what one wants to say. In this case you need t
