Hi -

I am attempting to model some hierarchical data for use in my first
logic program and am having some problems understanding how to create
a “typeof?” relationship with my data.

Defining parent child is easy enough of course; however I would like
to design a generic way of defining a subclass or superclass such
that, given some set of hierarchical data, for example:

Domain - Eukarya
        Kingdom - Animalia/Metazoa
                Phylum - Chordata
                        Class - Mammalia
                                Order - Primate
                                        Family - Hominidae
                                                Genus - Homo
                                                        Species - Homo sapiens

(typeof? “Mammalia” “Eukarya”)  and
(typeof? “Primate” “Eukarya”) and
(typeof? “Hominidae” Eukarya”)

all are true using the same mechanism without having to explicitly
define the order one by one like:

(defrel typeof? p c)
(fact typeof? “Homo”  “Homo sapiens”)
(fact typeof? “Hominidae” “Homo sapiens”)
(fact typeof? “Primate” “Homo sapiens”)
(fact typeof? “Mammalia” “Homo sapiens”)
...

Any help getting started on this would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
