limiting what kind of statements are valid in the graph. On the other hand it is also not very expressive, meaning that the semantics that can be represented in a machine-interpretable way with the graph is quite limited.

Below in a simple example of the capabilities and limits of RDFS entailment, we start with a graph containing the following explicit triples:

foo:SomeGiraffe rdf:type bar:Animal.foo:SomeElephant rdf:type bar:Elephant.foo:SomeZoo rdf:type bar:Zoo.bar:livesInZoo rdfs:domain bar:Animal.bar:livesInZoo rdfs:range bar:Zoo.foo:SomeElephant bar:livesInZoo foo:SomeZoo.
