What is the différence between Instances and Individuals views in Protégé OWL

Question

In Protégé OWL Editor (Desktop version 5.0.17) there are various views for Individuals. See picture below. Protégé different views for indiviudals

Among them there are Individuals and Instances Views. What are the differences between instances and individuals ?

Answer 1

There is no difference between an individual and an instance in OWL. All individuals are instances of one or more classes. Looks like a case of ambiguous names.

Answer 2

我的理解是，在 Protege 中，“实例”只是“个人直接附加到选定的“类”，而“个人”指的是“实例”附加到选定的“类”及其所有子“类”。
