[protege-discussion] Add instances to multislot

[Samson Tu]

Hi,

You can link instances from multiple hierarchies using Jess. It would 
help if you tell use exactly what your classes and slots are.

In your Jess example, ?f, ?u, and ?s are being bound to Jess facts, not 
object instances. To bind the variable ?u to the object corresponding to 
the fact

(object (Object_Id ?m))

instead of ?u <- (object (Object_Id ?m)), you need

(object (Object_Id ?m)(OBJECT ?u))

Similarly for ?s (object (ID ?n)(OBJECT ?s))

Then on the RHS, you can have

(slot-insert$ ?u linksToS ?s)
