the world according to RDF, OWL and MKR

I have put together a description of the world view
(entity-characteristic-proposition hierarchy, including
all predefined entities and properties) for each of the
languages.

    http://rhm.cdepot.net/kb/rdf.ho 
    http://rhm.cdepot.net/kb/owl.ho 
    http://rhm.cdepot.net/kb/mkr.ho 

I am sharing this info. to give you
1. a brief summary of each language
2. a view of the differences between the languages

To facilitate the comparison of languages, I have
added a few concepts to the RDF & OWL world views,
e.g. "entity" and "group".

I have added one concept, "ClassSet", for the purpose
of removing the individual-class conflict in RDF & OWL.
By the current definitions, the meaning of

    <Class rdf:ID="x">

is

    <x rdf:type="Class">

making "x" both an individual and a class.  I propose
a new meaning

    <ClassSet rdf:member="x">

which makes "x" a class (which is a member of the set
ClassSet), and not an individual.  ClassSet can then
replace Class as the record of all classes.
