Description

From cmung...@gmail.com on December 02, 2011 12:50:07

Oort removes redundant SubClass axioms between named classes - good.

We also want to remove other redundant axioms the primary example being subclass of somevaluesfrom over transitive properties. This is best illustrated in obo - the marked line should be removed.

Not trivial to do this using an OWL reasoner as these are not named classes. Best implemented via OWLGraphWrapper?

ontology: test

[Term]
id: X:1
relationship: part_of X:2
relationship: part_of X:3 ! this is redundant

[Term]
id: X:2
relationship: part_of X:3

[Term]
id: X:3

[Typedef]
id: part_of
is_transitive: true

Research direction

Start at OWLGraphWrapper and inspect how redundancy checking currently handles named-class SubClass axioms. Use the OBO example in the issue to define the expected result: remove the direct X:1 to X:3 relationship when part_of is transitive, while retaining the inferred relationship.
