   7 \p An \osl{} document is a valid \name{OWL} 2 document (as described in \cite{owl})
   8 containing individuals and data that represent the OBDA specification,
   9 as well as \name{OWL} properties that connect them.
  10 The individuals and \name{OWL} properties are recognized and mapped to their roles
  11 by their IRIs.
  12
  13 \p \label{spec_ignored} An \osl{} document may contain more \name{OWL} entities
  14 (with IRIs not defined in this specification), which are ignored.
  15
  16 \p An \osl{} document has to declare all individuals having different IRIs as different
  17 from each other (except those which are ignored, see Paragraph~\ref{spec_ignored}).\\
  18 It is recommended to use the \texttt{owl:AllDifferent} \name{OWL}
  19 statement for this purpose.
  20
  21 \p \label{spec_base} Unless stated otherwise, IRIs mentioned in the following are
  22 IRIs relative to a base IRI chosen by the user being empty (which makes the IRIs
  23 absolute \cite{xmlbase}) or ending with a hash character (`\#').\\
  24 \newpage
  25 It is recommended to use that base IRI as \texttt{xml:base} XML attribute.\\
  26 IRIs prefixed with \texttt{osl:} are IRIs relative to the IRI\\
  27 \oslbaseurl{}\;.

  30 \p An \osl{} document has to import the following ontology
  31 (referred to as ``the \osl{} header'' in the following):\\

  33
  34 \p The \name{OWL} individuals described by the \osl{} document representing
  35 the certain types of OBDA maps
  36 must have the IRIs specified in table \ref{spec_tbl_indv_iris}
  37 (for base IRIs, see Paragraph~\ref{spec_base}).
  38 Here, \textit{$<$class URI$>$} refers\\
  39 to the \texttt{OWL class URI} field of the respective entity map for entity maps,\\
  40 to the \texttt{OWL class URI} field of the associated entity map for identifier maps,\\

  43 to the \texttt{OWL class URI} field of the entity map associated with the respective subtype map
  44 for translation tables of subtype maps.\\
  45 Similarly, \textit{$<$property URI$>$} refers\\
  46 to the \texttt{OWL property URI} field of the respective attribute map for attribute maps
  47 (or, if it is empty, the value that would have been generated for it if it weren't empty),\\
  48 to the \texttt{OWL property URI} field of the respective relation map for relation maps and\\
  49 to the \texttt{OWL property URI} field of the respective attribute map
