RE: [ontolog-forum] Last call documents for OWL 2 specificationavailable - review and comments solicited

Dear all!

I just noticed that the original mail by Alan Ruttenberg contained a wrong
link, pointing to a now obsolete set of older working drafts. 

Here is the correct link to the current set of OWL 2 working drafts (with
some of them being marked as "last call" working drafts, as announced by
Alan):

 
<http://www.w3.org/blog/SW/2008/12/03/eleven_w3c_publications_related_to_owl
_2>

Regards,
Michael

PS: I don't know whether I am allowed to post to the ontolog-forum, so maybe
someone is willing to forward this mail?
