- i.e., use openCAESAR

While N-ary relation approach can be applied to OWL, it would incur overheads. For instance, multiple inverse properties are needed for a N-ary relation. Moreover, the use of cardinality restrictions becomes limiting on some roles that depend on the class of some other roles 53.
