(NOTE: This is a private message, it has no link to the Sem Web activity, or anything else -- I write this wearing my professor hat!) In recent days I've been attending a lot of meetings where I have been approached by people talking about not just the limitations of the current OWL (something I've been hearing about for a long time :-)) but actually talking about proposed technical solutions. I think it would be good to start to collect some of these and to think a bit about those things that we might want to see go into some future OWL version There's a wide variety of these things going from simple extensions to OWL (such as adding qualified restrictions, having an owl:allDisjoint , etc.) to adding some standard ways of doing common things in other KR langauges (part-whole, bounded transitivity, probability models) or going beyond to new concepts in Sem Web (new models of partial import, named ontology segments, etc.) I'd like to hear what people are working on, or what people need - this way we'll have these ideas on record for the eventual next generation of OWL technology. -Jim H,. -- Professor James Hendler Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-2696 8400 Baltimore Ave, Suite 200 301-314-9734 (Fax) College Park, MD 20742 http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler
