I suggest adding the following sentence to the end of the paragraph in the ref manual. Comments? re-wordings? Pat ----------------- Imports Each daml:imports statement references another DAML+OIL ontology containing definitions that apply to the current DAML+OIL resource. Each reference consists of a URI specifying from where the ontology is to be imported from. See the example above. Imports statements are transitive, that is, if ontology A imports B, and B imports C, then A imports both B and C. Importing an ontology into itself is considered a null action, so if ontology A imports B and B imports A, then they are considered to be equivalent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- IHMC (850)434 8903 home 40 South Alcaniz St. (850)202 4416 office Pensacola, FL 32501 (850)202 4440 fax phayes@ai.uwf.edu http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/~phayes
