[LC response] To Umberto Straccia Re: Concept constructors

Dear Umberto,

Thank you for your comment
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2009Apr/0075.html>
on the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language last call drafts.

Unfortunately, adding syntactic sugar does have a significant
specification and consensus building cost, particularly as it adds to
the OWL 2 vocabulary, which has already been objected to by some
communities (see, e.g., [1]). Therefore the working group has decided
not to augment the language with the ObjectImplicationOf constructor at
this time.

let us know whether or not you are satisfied with the working group's
response to your comment.  

Regards,
Peter Patel-Schneider
