LANG: new version of 2nd face-to-face full language document

Ian Horrocks, Frank van Harmelen, and I have been making changes to the
``Proposed OWL Knowledge Base Language'' document that was discussed at the
second face-to-face.  We have removed the frame layer (maybe only
temporarily, as the level-1 document may end up incorporated in a document
like this), removed the constructs that have been eliminated from the
language, added the constructs that have been added to the language, and
made other changes, including a much longer introduction.

We are sending the document as it stands to the WebOnt working group for
further discussion.

We propose that the working group produce a working draft that includes the
information in this document, as well as the information in the level-1
document, and that this be done in the near future.

I enclose the current version of the document.  As well, the document can
be found at http://www-db.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/owl/owl.html
(This is not an archival location for the document, nor will it necessarily
be the location of the current version of the document in the future.)
