http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2009Jan/ 0033.html This seems entirely positive to me, at least in substance. Since this part got a follow up: """ Personally, I feel OWL2 is a wrap-up of different recent efforts in the OWL community from different research forces, such as EL from Dresden, QL and RL from Manchester/Oxford. Given the usage of OWL 1.0 is quite limited in the industry compare to the usage of RDF, it may cost many extra efforts and is very challenging to teach system developers to use new OWL2, in particular, identifying different subsets of OWL2 for developers with limited logic background. Nevertheless, new features on DataProperty related predicates could be useful for semantic application developers in defining and reasoning over their data and metadata. """ I think it's worth pointing her to the Profiles documents. These *are* different subsets for developers with limited logic background (among other things). Each is pretty suitable as a starting place for learning the language (though I'm slightly biased toward EL++ for that for it's regularity). Cheers, Bijan.
