[OWL] expressing relationships

Currently I am developing a family ontology in OWL. I describe an
atomclass human with subclasses man and woman. These have
objectproperties like father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister,
husband, and wife. These are primitive relations between two humans.

From these atoms I can define objectproperties like
parent = union(father, mother)
child = union(son, daughter), inverse of parent
spouse = union(husband, wife)

Next I would like to define relations like uncle, aunt, grand, cousin
uncle = parent.brother
aunt = parent.sister
sibling = parent.child
cousin = parent.sibling.child
grandfather = parent.father
grandmother = parent.mother

I am quit unsure whether all these thought are possible to expres
within OWL.
