The facilitation of interoperability requires a clear distinction if a relation refers to classes of individuals or to specific instances, in particular when it comes to the logical properties of the involved relations. Class relations are defined whenever the semantics of entire classes are described, independently of single instances. Typical examples are spatial semantic integrity constraints or ontologies of entity classes. The paper continues research on spatial class relations by deepening the analysis of the reasoning properties of class relations. The work is based on a set of 17 abstract class relations defined in [11]. The paper provides a complete composition table for the 17 abstract class relations and redefines the concept of conceptual neighbourhood for class relations. This approach can be used to find conflicts and redundancies in sets of semantic integrity constraints or other applications of spatial class relations.
