Re: RE : [mawg] [rdfs taskforce] action-249: RDFS version of ma-ont availble

Hello Jean-Pierre, all,

I just returned from holidays and have to stick up with the discussion 
happening here. So, apologies for not taking part in the discussions.

So first of all: there must have been some syntax issues with Protege 
because I defined datatype and object properties and did not define 
datatypes as classes; See my OWL file.
I made two files: one RDFS and one OWL, I guess you would not have had 
the syntax issues with the OWL version: 
http://www.salzburgresearch.at/~tbuerger/ma-ont.owl
Is this the changed file you refer to: 
http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/W3C_MAWG/ma-ont-rev.rdfs.xml ?
Using owl:datatype and owl:objectproperties here means that we focus on 
the OWL version of the ontology from now on -> this is fine for me.

I agree to the changes in the ranges of some datatype properties and the 
changes in subclass hierarchies for the concepts defined that you did 
(your restructuring).

I agree to Veroniques previous comment, that we should remove the 
FunctionalProperty type for some properties again.

For the frameSize discussion, I would personally stick to the two 
properties which I defined; because having a framesize class does not 
make much sense for me as well (because this class will only have two 
properties and that's it).

Is it OK that we continue with your version now, Jean-Pierre, and then 
see which comments from Werner, Chris, and Veronique we should implement 
from here on?  If yes, I will compile an issues page in the WIKI which 
we probably can discuss in one of the next telcos. ((But maybe 
everything has been handled and I am just overwhelmed by all emails now.)

Thank you.

Best regards,

Tobias
