You may recall that my previous introduction http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Oct/0091 was only in part. I am now pleased to add that HP has confirmed that it wishes to be represented in this WG; and has appointed me as primary rep, and Steve Battle as alternate. Our current plan is that we will follow a strict primary/alternate policy, and you will not see both of us at the same meeting, except for the Manchester F2F. In addition to my earlier introductory comments I will add: The OWL 1.0 support in Jena consists of: - an ontology API that supports OWL oriented access to an underlying RDF graphs, and also supports owl:imports. - sets of rules that support subsets of OWL within Jena's rule engine Of the new features in the member submission, there is most excitement in HP about: - sub property chains (but without the limitations concerning datatype properties) - a new approach to forming subsets of the language === On a more personal note, I will add that I do geometry as a hobby ... for example work in Venn Diagrams, http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1269908.1269914&coll=GUIDE&dl=ACM&CFID=15151515&CFTOKEN=6184618 http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0512001 Which n-Venn Diagrams Can Be Drawn with Convex k-Gons? and also oriented matroids http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3424 A New Proof of Pappus's Theorem I am currently reading [the abridged version of] UNESCO's 8 volume general history of Africa. I find the first sentence of this extensive work, both pregant with meaning, and very moving. "Africa has a history." Jeremy
