Tim, the terminology you suggested is clearer than the current
uniqueProperty and unambiguousProperty.

Adam -- I had uniqueProperty and unambiguousProperty
confused.  But, for the example you gave "Person has SSN"
it should be both.  That is, hasSSN is both a uniqueProperty
and an unambiguousProperty, since it is one-to-one (at least
in the idealized world). I think this makes the example more
interesting, in fact.

The W3C Webont working group is looking for better names to
use for these qualities of properties for its new language.
What do people think of using names like oneToOneProperty,
manyToOnePropoerty, oneToManyProperty, and manyToManyProperty.
