Checks that an ontology can be saved as an OWL 1 document. This isn't a strict check - it pays no attention to the original concrete representation of the ontology. This means, for example, that aspects of a valid RDF graph such as structure sharing are not validated.

Specifically, this profile ensures that:

• Punning is not used
• Only simple properties are used in number restrictions (including functional properties)

Additionally, no OWL 2 constructs can be used:

• No use of QCRs
• No use sub property axioms whose sub property is a chain
• No use of OWL 2 data ranges
• No use of disjoint classes axioms where more than two classes are declared to be disjoint
• No use disjoint properties axioms
• No use reflexive, antisymmetric, irreflexive property axioms
