1. In the sentence Among other constructs, OWL 2 QL disallows existential quantification of roles to a class expression, i.e. it can be stated that every person has a parent but not that every person has a female parent. the text "i.e." should be "e.g." 2.In "whereas reasoners are used to query ontologies for implicit knowledge, i.e. they determine whether a statement in question is a logical consequence an ontology." The last clause does not parse in English. Probably what is desired is "i.e., they determine whether a statement in question is a logical consequence in an ontology." Note also that a comma is recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style after "i.e.". Other authorities disagree. Does W3 have a punctuation style guide? Bob Morris -- Robert A.
