Thank you. The RL profile I'm talking about is this:
http://goo.gl/PLXRe, which I assume is what you call "OWL 2 RL
syntactic profile," right?

Thanks, though not being an RDF aficionado, it would help me more if
you used (the binary-relation restriction of) FOL as a term for
comparison. I seem to vaguely recall that via the reification
mechanism, RDF goes beyond FOL, hence OWL 2 Full also does that. Is
that true? If so, I'd be tempted to regard this as the most glaring
distinction b/w OWL 2 DL and OWL 2 Full.

Many thanks,
