[protege-discussion] Antwort: Re: Antwort: instances with multiple parents?

[daniel.keijsers at biotronik.com]

Hi again,

you have to decided that. As i would say a Garmin is both a Bike computer 
and a GPS Unit. 
That why I would introduce a new class. But you could also add both 
classes as type of the instance.
But imho that is not nice...

Mit freundlichen Grüßen 
Kind regards,

Thanks for the response!

I could do that, but then the Garmin 605 would be the only Instance in 
that class.  In addition, this kind of data modeling would spawn a 
profusion of one-off categories like that.  Is that normal ontology design 
best practice? 

Cheers,
Nick

Garmin 605 will then be an instance of "GPS_Bike_Computer". 
Does that fit?

[protege-discussion] instances with multiple parents?








Hi, I don't see a way to provide an Instance with more than one parent 
Class, but my data model seems to need this feature. 

For example, the Garmin 605 is both a Bike Computer and a GPS Unit.  On my 
website, I want my users to be able to navigate to the Garmin 605 from 
either of two ways: 

Cycling>Bike Parts>Bike Computers>Garmin 605 

and 

Electronics>Navigation>GPS Units>Garmin 605 

Where Bike Computers, GPS Units, etc up the tree are all Classes, and the 
Garmin 605 is an Instance. 

Or should I just make the Garmin 605 a Class, and it can then have 
multiple parents?  In that case, I'd have to make all the products 
Classes, and that just seems weird. 

Thanks, 
Nick_______________________________________________
