ManagedIndividual.checkMembership checks for class type membership but not object RDF types

ManagedIndividual.checkMembership relies on the OntClassInfo information but fails to check the PROP_RDF_TYPE property of the object itself.

Thus if:

ManagedIndividual mi = new ManagedIndividual;
mi.addType(Device.MY_URI,false);

then:
ManagedIndividual.checkMembership(Device.MY_URI,mi) == false

It is assumed that the object was created correctly. Therefore, in your example, you should use:
Device d = new Device(..);
which will have the correct type.

BTW: ManagedIndividual is abstract, so you anyway need to create an instance of a subclass.

If this is changed, the matchmaking needs to be revisited to make sure the change does not break anything. I would leave it as it is (maybe add a different method, if needed).
