In our opinion, it is very timely to go forward with establishing this working group in order to advance OWL by taking expressed user needs and new theoretical results into account. The OWL1.1 member submission and the inputs from the OWLED workshop series are a very good basis to build upon, as expressed in the charter. We think, however, that the work on tractable fragments should be included in the charter, and that this work should be done in parallel from the very start, in the same working group. We believe that there is already broad consensus among experts which fragments should be considered, and the corresponding document of the OWL1.1 member submission is an excellent account of it. The fragments are already supported by existing OWL reasoners, and specialised implementations exist or are under way.
