OWL FULL or DL?

Dear all,

The discussion on FOAF has actually taken us on the need to make an important design decision, i.e. decide whether or not we should used OWL DL or OWL FULL.

Clearly, as claimed, FOAF is OWL FULL.  This allows using some features like punning that are useful to us if we want to find a simple solution to have e.g. a property that uses either a concept (object) or a literal (data).

On the other hand, there are voices/concerns about the support of OWL FULL by current implementations of OWL APIs.

Views?

Best regards,

Jean-Pierre
