Progressive restriction on enumerated types in Owl

How does one progressively restrict enumerated types in Owl?

I've got an ontology of function-terms.  I want to map
English-language terms (as strings) to the function terms.  I want to
restrict the mapping as I go down the hierarchy.  In the (very
stripped down) example, FUNCTION can map to any of the four terms, but
its sub-sub-subclass INCREASE_QUANTITY only maps to 'produce.'

    FUNCTION Hierarchy		          MAPPED TERMS

FUNCTIONS			    happen  | convert | produce | consume
    PROCESSES			    convert | produce | consume
	CHANGE_QUANTITY		    produce | consume
	    INCREASE_QUANTITY	    produce 
	    DECREASE_QUANTITY	    consume


The reference at http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#EnumeratedDatatype
shows me how to enumerate the possible values for the Mapped term.
But I don't see how I can restrict it as I go down the tree.

Any ideas, suggestions?

And is comp.text.xml a good place to ask this?

Thanks
David Throop
