[Jim Tivy] Nothing complex just the subject predicate object "Jim likes
Dogs".
ObjectPropertyAssertion( :likes :Jim :Dogs) or "Dog" singular if you like.
It should be clear from "Jim likes Dogs" that I refer to the collective
(all) - but just 
to be more explicit I do mean all dogs even the ones that bite jim :).
