[protege-discussion] Referring to classes outside an ontology

[Matthew Horridge]

Hi Joachim,

This seems o.k. to me.  (Providing faldo;Region expands to the full IRI of the class in the external ontology).  The light font-weight (as opposed to bold) indicates that you haven't said anything about the class in the current ontology.  

Cheers,

Matthew
