[Kim-discussion] insert new instances into KIM

[Yang Fangkai]

One follow-up question:

I import an entity called "formic acid" which is an instance of class
"acid" (class acid is defined to be a subclass of protont:object, and
declared visible. The instances is declared as generated by a instance
of protons:Trusted), and the RDF file is imported by
toolRDFImport.cmd.

I do the following queries by WebGUI:

1. Query all entities which are instances of acid, I can see instance
"formic acid".
2. Query all entities which are instances of acid and begin with
string "formic", it retrieves nothing.
3. Query all entities which are instances of protont#entity, I can see
instance "formic acid".
4. Query all entities which are instances of protont#entity and begin
with string "formic", it retrieves nothing.

I am wondering why this happens. Is there any different treatment
between the triples in wkb.nt and the triples imported by
toolRDFImport.cmd?

Thank you!

Fangkai
