Dear all! I just noticed that the original mail by Alan Ruttenberg contained a wrong link, pointing to a now obsolete set of older working drafts. Here is the correct link to the current set of OWL 2 working drafts (with some of them being marked as "last call" working drafts, as announced by Alan): <http://www.w3.org/blog/SW/2008/12/03/eleven_w3c_publications_related_to_owl _2> Regards, Michael PS: I don't know whether I am allowed to post to the ontolog-forum, so maybe someone is willing to forward this mail? >-----Original Message----- >From: semantic-web-request@w3.org [mailto:semantic-web-request@w3.org] >On Behalf Of Azamat >Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 5:33 PM >To: [ontolog-forum] >Cc: 'SW-forum' >Subject: Re: [ontolog-forum] Last call documents for OWL 2 >specificationavailable - review and comments solicited > > >Tuesday, December 16, 2008 11:14 AM, Alan wrote: >"I am looking for comments on all aspects of the specification, and in >particular comments as to how understandable the specification is, any >comments on new features, as well as any inconsistencies or errors." > >Just some short comments to some key OWL2 claims: >1.
