Recap of face-to-face by Jim Hendler for those that couldn't make it:
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/11-webont-irc#T16-14-18

> Q&A session plus discussion about 
> - resolutions

List of resolutions to be posted to list by Jim when he recovers data
from his laptop. Until then, see:
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/09-webont-irc#T14-14-14

RESOLUTION: The meaning of an OWL document is conveyed in the RDF graph
	    ==> ALL in favour, NO opposed
RESOLUTION: All RDF/XML documents that are equivalent under the RDF
	    Recommendation are equivalent OWL exchange documents
	    ==> 14 in favor -- 3 opposed
RESOLUTION: The exchange language for OWL is RDF/XML
	    ==> 16 in favour
RESOLUTION: We intend to produce non-normative presentation syntaxes
	    and their mapping to the exchange syntax
	    ==> 16 in favour -- 1 opposed
RESOLUTION: The preference of the WG is to produce at least one XML
	    and one frame presentation syntax
	    ==> 11 in favour -- 2 opposed

Dan Connolly raised the procedural point that resolutions with dissent
may need to be kept in the issues list.

Jim Hendler explained that dissenting WG members will be given the
opportunity to explain reasons for dissent before publication.

> - follow-up actions

ACTION (April 9): chairs
Send message to SWCG to the effect that, to achieve aims in charter,
need a dark (unasserted) triple mechanism in RDF.
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/09-webont-irc#T12-40-23

ACTION (April 9): Mike Dean, Enrico Motta, Ziv Hellman, Raphael Volz,
		  Ian Horrocks and Frank van Harmelen
Following polls on separation of language features between
level 1 (OWL-lite) and level 2 (OWL-full), a group was constituted to
revisit the level 1/2 conformance issue:
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/09-webont-irc#T14-08-19

> - issue list

List of potential new issues raised at face-to-face has been mailed out:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Apr/0078.html

Issues from this list will move to the main issues list (maintained by
Mike Smith) as and when WG members write them up (in same format as
existing issues) and mail them to the list.


Discussion of non-normative presentation syntaxes and round-tripping:
http://www.w3.org/2002/04/11-webont-irc#T16-30-52

> - WG schedule

ALL: WG schedule Guus Schreiber (Wed, Mar 27 2002)
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Mar/0313.html

Semantic Web Coordination Group needs to be consulted prior to
schedule revision; we need to be sure that the revised schedule is
realistic before this.
