Logical and physical entities relation in OWL ontology

Question

I am creating an ontology that describes operating system components and I've run into a problem where I need to relate logical concepts with their physical counterparts but I can't imagine the exact structure and I do not understand why there is a conflict:

I have the following structure:

Daemon
File
   FixedFile
   TemporaryFile
   UpdatableFile
   ConfigFile

This structure seems correct as there are files of different type. But when I add that a Daemon has a file on disk - I can not say hasFileOnDisk exactly 1 File because daemon can not be a config file, and on the other hand, ConfigFile can be either Fixed,Updatable or even Temporary.

How do I relate that Daemon's hasFileOnDisk can not be ConfigFile and ConfigFile may be temporary,updatable or fixed but they are all files and inherit file data property fileName ?

Answer 1

Your problem cannot be resolved by just using inheritance relationshps between entities. You need to use other means to put constraint on hasFileOnDisk argument, for example disjoint classes.

<owl:Class rdf:ID="NonConfigFile">
  <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#File"/>
  <owl:disjointWith rdf:resource="#ConfigFile"/>
</owl:Class>
