RE: Guide: draft of Oct 31

Thanks, Peter.

I sent out the wine.owl and food.owl ontologies in an earlier message.
See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Oct/0333.html

The RDF validator seemed to like them.  The following goes through 
just fine.

<rdf:RDF
  xmlns     = "http://www.example.org/wine.owl#"
  xmlns:owl = "http://www.w3.org/@@/owl#"
  xmlns:rdf = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
  xmlns:rdfs= "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">

  <owl:ObjectProperty rdf:ID="locatedIn">
    <owl:TransitiveProperty />
    <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/@@/owl#Thing" />
    <rdfs:range rdf:resource="#Region" />
  </owl:ObjectProperty>

</rdf:RDF>

But as I have been saying for some time, that's no guarantee 
that you have syntactically correct OWL.

I believe that the draft has some problems with its OWL syntax (actually, I
believe that the examples are not even valid RDF).  Many uses of
owl:TransitiveProperty and owl:SymmetricProperty are as

<owl:ObjectProperty rdf:ID="....">
 <owl:TransitiveProperty />
 ...
</owl:ObjectProperty>

I believe that this must be changed to

<owl:ObjectProperty rdf:ID="....">
 <rdf:type rdf:resource="&owl;TransitiveProperty" />
 ...
</owl:ObjectProperty>

I also worry about the repeated use of rdf:ID in the draft.  The pointer to
wine.owl doesn't go anywhere, however, so I can't check this.

PS: A pointer to wine.owl would be very useful.
