[LC response] To Matthew Horridge

Dear Matthew,

Thank you for your comment
      <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/ 
2009Feb/0005.html>
on the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language last call drafts.

After considering your comment the W3C OWL Working Group has decided  
that they will change the functional-style syntax to be fully typed  
as you suggested.

It is important to note, however, that this change has no effect on  
the RDF/XML exchange syntax -- the serialisation of ontologies using  
this syntax will not change in any way.

Thanks again for making this very useful suggestion. We hope that the  
changes we have made address your concerns.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email to <mailto:public-owl- 
comments@w3.org> (replying to this email should suffice). In your  
acknowledgment please let us know whether or not you are satisfied  
with the working group's response to your comment.

Regards,
Ian Horrocks
on behalf of the W3C OWL Working Group
