Web Ontology Language - Limitations

Limitations

  • No direct language support for n-ary relationships. For example modelers may wish to describe the qualities of a relation, to relate more than 2 individuals or to relate an individual to a list. This cannot be done within OWL. They may need to adopt a pattern instead which encodes the meaning outside the formal semantics.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:

    “No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
