Re: When to introduce new object properties?

Hi,

I am newbie in some of these issues ontological modeling. I've Needed
modeling ontology with an object property to several classes. To split this
property into new properties between classes, I would come to create
synonymous properties of objects. What would be the same in that model,
because the informational value of individuals, related to object property,
owned the same semantics. Anyway, I also question about good practice in
these situations.
