Subclass of biomolecular structure

edit

Hello everyone,

@Peter F. Patel-Schneider and I are currently working on Wikidata's Ontology and more specifically about disjointness. There's something worth discussing about this item, because it's both a subclass of biomolecular structure and of sequence, (I also added Data, with a reference)

So the problem is that biomolecular structures are marked as concrete entities (when we go up the subclass tree), and sequences are marked as abstract entities. These create a disjointness, because something can't/shouldn't be both abstract and concrete. It is difficult to determine whether to consider a sequence as abstract (the representation of a concrete thing) or as concrete (the thing itself), but since the reference also has "subClassOf: Data", I think that we can delete "biomolecular structures" as a superclass, which would fix this disjointness issue. I will cross-post this discussion on the relevant places, feel free to answer. Egezort (talk) 20:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
