[protege-discussion] Datatype Properties

[Alex Shkotin]

Timothy,

it is very usual for linguists to describe terms in dictionary heavily.
There are many properties of this kind in SKOS as I know.

I hope my ontology is well formed from OWL 2 point of view.
And I'd like to edit it with P4 editor. Well, may be later.
