Soundness isn't the same, because we can lie (tell wrong facts) to the reasoner, which will (soundly) repeat back the lies. That's the sort of thing that happens when we use is_a instead of part_of in our ontologies. -Alan On Mar 15, 2007, at 11:38 AM, Kashyap, Vipul wrote: Just to cla

Hi Kei, This is wonderful. It will really help others across the field to be able to map to this representation so as to semantically integrate with the NeuronDB content. I'd like to discuss with you how this can be mapped into some of the more complex semantic frameworks we are using in
