TypeError: metaclass conflict

Hey, I'm trying to embed an ontology using OWL2Vec*, which uses Owlready2, but I'm getting an Owlready2 error when extracting triples from complex axioms:

TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases

The ontology I'm trying to embed is a merged ontology of HPO and HOOM, merged using Protégé.

Is this a bug? What is the problem here?

Hi,

The "metaclass conflict" error usually means that Python cannot create classes that correspond to those in the ontology. This typically occurs when the ontology include inheritance schema not allowed by Python, such as a loop (e.g. A is a B, B is a C, C is a A).

Hi,
So how can I solove the problem?

Hi,

You need to modify the ontology and remove the inheritance loop.
