Would a "convert to OWL11" > program be possible Yes. The OWL API reads OWL 1.0 documents and can write OWL1.1 documents. Protege will in fact do this. IIRC, there are some issues remaining (esp. involving declarations). I also started on an XSLT that would go from the XML syntax to either 1.1 RDF/XML or (if posssible) OWL 1.0 RDF/XML. > - again, this is because I'm confused for a lot of these predicates > as to whether they are necessary or just useful to implementors > (but ignorable my many users). > Another thing that would help, apparently several of the reasoners > (Pellet, Fact+, etc.) now handle OWL11 - do any of the editors? > Does Topbraid? [snip] Others have answered, but I'll also point to the OWLED wiki page: http://code.google.com/p/owl1-1/wiki/Implementations It's a bit out of date. I posted a note saying we should migrate this to the OWLWG wiki, presuming that we can find a space that will be maintained ad infinitum. TopBraid certainly does, and is entirely Jena based. Holger, on public-owl-dev Pellet has both OWL API and Jena front ends. Here's the annoucement: http://composing-the-semantic-web.blogspot.com/2007/02/announcing- topbraid-composer-20.html Cheers, Bijan.
