After reading all the info in that bug report, and all the info in the 'duplicate' bugs, I'm confused about what subproperties *should* do, and what they currently do and don't do.
Could someone please summarise what is expected, currently implemented and currently broken? I think such a table of features could be maintained here: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Property:Subproperty_of I'll start work on it when I have some time, but I've only just started to use subproperties, so someone with more direct experience should be able to do this much faster than me (I hope). For the record, my opinion is that we have enough syntax already. Anyone using subproperties should be aware of the implications, and shouldn't need special query syntax to ask for 'direct' vs. 'indirect' values of a superproperty. If they wan't only the direct values, they shouldn't use subproperties... IMHO. Cheers, Dan.
