Votes to advance documents to PR

Dear All,

Responding to CR comments is in hand (there have been relatively few  
comments -- see [1]), there are numerous implementations (see [2]),  
and testing is well underway (see [3]). We therefore hope to be able  
to resolve at a WG teleconf on Wednesday 5th August 2009 that all of  
the existing Candidate Recommendation and Last Call documents (see  
[4]) are ready for publication as Proposed Recommendations. Just to  
be clear, the set of documents is as follows:

  1. owl2-overview                  Document Overview
  2. owl2-syntax                    Structural Specification and  
Functional-Style Syntax
  3. owl2-mapping-to-rdf            Mapping to RDF Graphs
  4. owl2-direct-semantics          Direct Semantics
  5. owl2-rdf-based-semantics       RDF-Based Semantics
  6. owl2-conformance               Conformance
  7. owl2-profiles                  Profiles
  8. owl2-primer                    Primer
  9. owl2-new-features              New Features and Rationale
10. owl2-quick-reference           Quick Reference Guide
11. owl2-xml-serialization         XML Serialization
14. rdf-plain-literal              rdf:PlainLiteral: A Datatype for  
RDF Plain Literals

In addition, we hope to vote that the following Public Working Drafts  
are ready to be published as Working Group Notes:

12. owl2-manchester-syntax         Manchester Syntax
13. owl2-dr-linear                 Data Range Extension: Linear  
Equations


The PR decision will necessarily depend on ongoing implementation and  
testing efforts, and on the completion of a suitable implementation  
report. However, given the progress to date, it seems reasonable to  
plan on making these decisions on the above mentioned date.

This are important decisions, so please make sure that you either  
attend the teleconference or register a proxy vote with
one of the chairs.

Thanks,
Alan & Ian
