I come from UML world and now I am trying to see if in ontology I can specify containment relationship between owl class and objectProperty.
Will be helpful if any of you can let me know how to define such relation in OWL RDF/XML.
Thanks a lot !!

Do you mean UML composition? – Stanislav Kralin Feb 09 '18 at 10:07

yes true. I am looking if there is a way to establish such scenario with containment between objectproperty and owl class. so that at instance level it is ensured that i can associate a instance of property inside only one individual – Zaks M Feb 09 '18 at 10:33

See my answer for SO question [UML class diagram: Association or Composition?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48286294/uml-class-diagram-association-or-composition/48287838#48287838). Due to composition (and aggregation) being poorly specified in UML, it cannot be represented in OWL/RDF. – Henriette Harmse Feb 09 '18 at 13:44
