Coordination points between RDF(S) and DAML+OIL

Now that the RDF Core Working group has started its activities, the
"joint committee" who has designed DAML+OIL has written a document that
describes which areas of RDF and RDF Schema need attention based on our
experiences with defining DAML+OIL as an extension of RDF Schema. 

You can find the document at 
http://www.daml.org/2001/07/RDFS-DAML+OIL-coordination.html

On behalf of the "joint committee",

Frank van Harmelen.
