Re: Response to comments of Enrico

The sentence

[[[
It seems indeed not possible to implement an OWL 2 RL entailment regime
by using just SPARQL queries at least not with a linear query rewriting
if that is what you are referring to.
]]]

(though a bit too convoluted:-) made me think.

The point of the matter is that Enrico does not really state what he is
thinking about. Do you really believe he referred to implementing OWL 2
RL (or OWL 2 in general, for the matter) through query rewriting in
SPARQL? If this is really what his comment is on (I must admit that,
until I read your sentence, I did not realize that) than all his
comments are essentially irrelevant, aren't they, because the way OWL is
approached in this document has nothing to do with query rewriting. If
this is all correct, than I propose not to even go into the details of
the discussion on whether his particular entailment is correct or not,
just tell him that the way we envisage entailment in OWL is not related
to the query language proper, and that is it...

Cheers
