Hi all, There seems to be a problem in the OWL ontology RDF document [1]. The ontology itself (i.e. the only resource in the document with rdf:type owl:Ontology) is identified by the IRI <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl>. But the classes and properties defined there are all described with rdfs:isDefinedBy referring to the IRI <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> (i.e. with trailing hash). But there is no resource with that IRI described in the document. I am quite sure that the terms should link to the defined ontology, and certainly not to an unknown resource. In practice this has caused some problems for me (e.g. when generating documentation). (I do not propose *which* of the two IRIs should be used; that is, whether an ontology is an information resource or not. See this thread [2] for a discussion about that, complete with some statistics and suggested best practices.) Best regards, Niklas [1]: http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl [2]: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!msg/pedantic-web/RZ6kxlAVIy8/8r_JE4gVXFAJ
