Re: Comments on OWL 2 Last Call Drafts

I'd like to express my interest in and support for the proposed extensions
to be incorporated in OWL2, particularly from the perspective of SNOMED-CT
whose development I'm actively involved in.

Of the new features, as summarised in the excellent 'New Features and
Rationale' document, I'd particularly welcome: 

Property chain axioms
Manchester Syntax
Reflexivity/Symmetry of properties
Qualified cardinality restrictions
Extended annotations
Disjoint properties
Declarations
