Re: First crack at profiles in primer (another comment)

Bijan,

an additional comment, related to what I wrote in my previous mail on DL 
Lite vs OWL-R; I wonder whether a slightly different organization would 
not help:


- Intro
- EL++
- Some title here (simple profile or sg)
 - DL Lite
 - OWL-R
- OWL 1 species


What I mean is: I see quite a lot of things that are identical in DL 
Lite and OWL-R, both in the possible users and in some of the 
characteristic features. Factoring out those commonalities might be 
helpful, and then we could have one section on DL Lite, emphasizing its 
connection to the DB world, and OWL-R, emphasizing its rule aspect.

What do you think?
