We thus have the choice of making it look like an acronym by titling our documents Web Ontology Language (OWL) ... or make it look like a proper name by titling our documents [The] OWL Web Ontology Language ... The former course will lead to questions about why we have misspelled an acronym. The latter course deviates (a bit) from the recommended titling. I do agree that we do not really need to spend telecon time on this. I'm even quite happy to have the chair(s) propose a naming scheme. However, I am not happy without a common naming scheme. peter
