dislikes(x,z) ∧ Dish(y) ∧ contains(y,z) → dislikes(x,y)<br />

Dish ≡ ∃dish.Self<br />

dislikes o contains – o dish v dislikes<br />

worksAt(x,y) ∧ University(y) ∧ supervises(x,z) ∧ PhDStudent(z)<br />

→ pr<strong>of</strong>essorOf(x,z)<br />

∃worksAt.University ≡ ∃worksAtUniversity.Self<br />

PhDStudent ≡ ∃phDStudent.Self<br />

worksAtUniversity o supervises o phDStudent v pr<strong>of</strong>essorOf<br />
