Re: OWL 2 is now a W3C Proposed Recommendation

Bene,

OWL 2 reuses the same URI used by OWL 1. As OWL 2 is an extension to OWL
1, this makes sense.

I cannot comment on the plans of the different editors regarding the
additional OWL 2 features although, AFAIK, Protege does cover part of
OWL 2 already.
