Hi,

You’ve stated this :

A rdf:type owl:Class
B rdf:type owl:Class
B rdfs:subClassOf A
p rdf:type owl:DatatypeProperty
p rdfs:domain A

and now let’s add individuals:

I0 rdf:type A
I1 rdf:type B

an OWL reasoner will infer

I1 rdf:type A

so if you look at the inferences, I1 is an member of A just like I0 is a member 
of A and therefore the property p is just as “possible” for I1 as for I0. You 
do not need the concept of “inheritance” in this picture at all, it’s “subset" 
that is in play (B being a subset of A … i.e. ALL members of B are members of 
A). Anything you say wrt members of A and their properties/restrictions is 
applicable to members of B in the same way because members of B ARE members of 
A via inference.

Cheers,
David
