I agree with this. In particular, I'd love to see an equivalent to owl:sameAs in the rdfs namespace, probably with a more intuitive name, like rdfs:equals. It would take OWL out of a lot of conversations. There weren't any accepted proposals for working on RDFS at the workshop, but that doesn't mean it can't still be done. However, it would need a lot of public support if this were to be considered. If people are interested, they should voice their opinions. Regards, Paul Gearon
