This issue asks to reconsider the distinction between owl:Class and rdfs:Class. There have already been several emails, including http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Nov/0258.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Nov/0263.html that explain why merging owl:Class and rdfs:Class makes changes to ontologies and thus is not something that is suitable for OWL. The current situation is that several tools can perform this repair, although they do not guarantee that the semantics of the ontology is unchanged. I believe that there has been adequate discussion and that the issue can be closed. Peter F. Patel-Schneider Bell Labs Research
