Guarino & Welty's "OntoClean" has the same
principle, expressed differently (they use modal
necessity-talk rather than role-talk, and speak
of 'rigid properties', ie non-role properties).
It sure seems to make sense. (06)

I recall discussing exactly this with Nicola while in Padova (some time ago)
and, to me at least, it did not seem to be sufficiently expressive. (08)
