Hi Dan,
I think this is a good start. As others
have suggested, we need to drill down further to understand our requirements
and
evaluate the need for representing RIM in
OWL.. Some suggestions of deepening the use case are as follows:

Yes, I realized after posting that there was a flaw in my version.
Thanks for correcting it.
OWL is a godawful notation, in my humble opinion. It's been inflicted
on logic-naive users who don't realize there are lots of alternatives.
Just as an added note
If you express the example in the Manchester simplifeid syntax it
becomes more obvious.
See just below previous example

Hi Vipul,
Excellent comments...It seems to me that an ontology that doesn't have a testable use case can never be judged useful or not useful for any kind of predictable search strategy.
Here is the use case I would like to explore:

I agree with Helen. In general, we need to
be very careful about translating from the UML to the OWL meta-model.
It is quite likely that there are multiple
alternatives in OWL for representing the same UML construct and we would
probably need best practices for the same.
Towards this
Thanks Helen,
I have some questions on your notes below that I'm afraid will display my ignorance and naivete in RDF. In addition, I don't have access to Protege and some of my questions may be well-answered there.
As you discussed classCodes and inheritance below, I didn't catch how moodCode was i
