Instructions

Note 1: If your query uses "at-least / at-most" (number restriction on roles), make sure that RacerPro uses Unique Name Assumption! E.g., send "(set-unique-name-assumption t)" to RacerPro reasoner using RacerPorter.

Note 2: If your query uses "all" (universal role restriction), make sure that the roles are closed (select menu "Map -> Close Roles" from "Map Viewer").
