  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  A custom WSRR configuration profile model containing a string
  enumeration type property with a blank value results in the
  following error message when attempting to create an object with
  this type of property:
  
  A problem occurred creating the Concept: Test Object. Reason:
  GSR0085E: An error occurred while attempting to create item
  "Test Object (null)" in the registry.
  GSR0085E: An error occurred while attempting to create item
  "Test Object (null)" in the registry.
  GSR0042E: An Exception has been received from the
  ServiceRegistry meta data store access interface.
  com.ibm.athene.owl.exception.OntologyProcessingException:
  ATN0614E: An unexpected exception occurred whilst trying to
  retrieve the http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#range for
  owl:Property http://MyModel#stringEnumerationProperty
  
  An example string enumeration property with a blank value
  would be modeled as follows in OWL:
  
  <owl:DatatypeProperty
  rdf:about="http://MyModel#stringEnumerationProperty">
  <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="http://MyModel#MyCustomObjectType"/>
  <rdfs:range>
  <owl:DataRange>
  <owl:oneOf>
  <rdf:List>
  <!-- This is the blank value -->
  <rdf:first
  rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"/>
  <rdf:rest>
  <rdf:List>
  <rdf:first
  rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">EnumValue
  1</rdf:first>
  <rdf:rest>
  <rdf:List>
  <rdf:first
  rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">EnumValue
  2</rdf:first>
  <rdf:rest
  rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#nil"/>
  </rdf:List>
  </rdf:rest>
  </rdf:List>
  </rdf:rest>
  </rdf:List>
  </owl:oneOf>
  </owl:DataRange>
  </rdfs:range>
  <rdfs:comment>An example string enumeration with a blank
  value</rdfs:comment>
  <rdfs:label>String Enumeration Property</rdfs:label>
  </owl:DatatypeProperty>
  
  The model is valid and loads into WSRR, but objects with this
  type of property cannot be created and the above error is seen.
  
  This error was introduced in WSRR V7.5 and V8.0 and therefore
  occurs on WSRR V7.5, V7.5.0.1, V7.5.0.2, V8.0 and V8.0.0.1.
  

Problem conclusion

• Objects with string enumeration types with blank values can
  now be created without error.
  
  This APAR is targeted at WSRR v7.5.0.3 and v8.0.0.2.
  

Temporary fix
