OWL 2 is now a W3C Proposed Recommendation

Following a successful Candidate Recommendation phase, during which we
received reports of more than a dozen implementations [1], OWL 2 has
advanced to Proposed Recommendation.  During this four-week phase, W3C
member organizations [2] have a chance decide whether OWL 2 should be
published as a W3C Recommendation.

We have published new versions of the documents [3], but the changes
since Candidate Recommendation are all minor and editorial.  (The
changes are detailed in a changelog in each document.)  No changes to
software or ontologies should be required.

The new publications are linked from our documentation roadmap:

Comments are best sent to public-owl-comments@w3.org.  General
discussion of OWL 2 is probably best done on public-owl-dev@w3.org [4].
