Referring to my recent email, it occurs to me that the backward compatibility condition can be more elegantly stated as owl:Resource rdfs:subClassOf owl:UQResource . and that this can be regarded as an extra semantic condition on OWL/RDF 1.0 ontologies. Since this condition is vacuous in a purely OWL 1.0 framework, it is harmless there, but it provides the semantic 'bridge' to enable OWL 1.0 to be considered a subset of OWL 1.1. I presume that the OWL version will be available eg from the XML header, so processors will know whether or not this condition applies.
