[protege-discussion] Inverse Slot with system slots

[Tania Tudorache]

Hi Daniel,

I think I did not interpret your message correctly. The subslot solution 
would work only if you already have the subslot values filled in (by the 
user or some application) and you use the GraphWidget just to display 
the instances and their relationships.

But, if you intend to use the GraphWidget to create reified 
relationships, then the subslots solution will not work, because 
GraphWidget will automatically fill in the values of :FROM and :TO and 
not the ones of the subslots.

Sorry for the confusion.
Tania
