Compare Data Property values using Protege and Fact++

Question

Using protege I'm trying to compare string values with data properties. E.g.:

I have a country class, and in that class I have an individual with a hasCountryName data property set to "England". I'm using a defined class, and what I want to do is say something like:

Country and (hasCountryName value "England")

Using the Hermit reasoner, it correctly infers that my individual is a member of that class, but using Fact++ it does not. I'd like to use the Fact++ reasoner, is there any way I can modify this so Fact++ recognises it?

Answer 1

FaCT++ and HermiT are supposed to support the same inferences, so if this works with one but not the other I suspect a bug. To confirm this, you can try the same example but using something like

Country and (hasCountry value England)

where hasCountry is an object property. This does not make sense in terms of your original ontology, but the same inference should be kicked off without using data properties and literals. If FaCT++ recognizes this, then there is a bug in how it works with literals and datatype properties.
