Re: ISSUE-21 (import-target-match): REPORTED: match of owl:import target to imported ontology uri undesirable?

As this issue refers to another issue on Google code, we should probably 
check and correct cross-references when migrating. I have already made 
the appropriate modification for this issue, and will check others as well.

Best,

 Rinke
