Slot: range

defines the type of the object of the slot. Given the following slot definition

_ S1:_

_ domain: C1_

_ range: C2_

the declaration

_ X:_

_ S1: Y_

__

implicitly asserts Y is an instance of C2

comments:
- range is underspecified, as not all elements can appear as the range of a slot.
- to use a URI or CURIE as the range, create a class with the URI or curie as the
