Jeff, I am pretty neutral on this, but it doesn't seem like the first two get to the important relations, which are whether one ontology is a COMPATIBLE extension or and INCOMPATIBLE extension. I.e EXTENDS vs. REPLACES. I propose to add the following identifiers to the OWL namespace: priorVersion backCompatWith deprecatedClass deprecatedProperty We can't say REPLACES. The combination of priorVersion + backCompatibleWith implies EXTENDS. An interesting feature is that an ontology can say that it is a priorVersion of some other one. Right? - Mike Michael K.
