Jena ConversionException while viewing owl:NamedIndividual as an OntClass
jena, ontology, owl
Solution
Yes, Jena doesn't support OWL2 at the moment. However, you can just call `setStrictMode(false)` on your `OntModel`, and it will allow you to view that resource as a class by switching off strict checking.
Problem
I am getting the following Jena Named Individual Exception: ``` Cannot convert node http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#NamedIndividual to OntClass: it does not have rdf:type owl:Class or equivalent ``` I am unable to find some relevant answer to my problem. Is is due to OWL 2 incompatibility with OWL 1. What are the mitigation strategies available to me?
