This wednesday our general discussion will be on the Easy Keys proposal that is described at [1]. In order to have an informed discussion, please review the proposal, which has been updated recently. Some discussion points: Expressivity: The proposal explains: "Why not easiest keys?". Are there questions about the motivations for the increase in expressivity. Potential implementors - do you expect that the implementation requirements are manageable and do you expect to implement the proposal. Semantics: Boris and others had questions at the F2F regarding leading to the suggestion that the semantics being more clearly specified. Are they well enough specified now? What issues remain. Syntax: The proposal suggests using the serialization proposed by the RIF BLD[2] for easy keys. A quick glance at the document cited reveals only an XML syntax, and the RIF/RDF/OWL documentation[3] suggests that combinations of RIF and RDF be made by way of using multiple documents. Is there a RDF syntax proposed, and if not are we comfortable with having key axioms specified in a non-RDF syntax. Documentation: What impact would adding Easy Keys have on our user facing documentation? Action: If we want to get this feature in to OWL 2 and remain on schedule we will need to act quickly. What action items need to be assigned, and which are you willing to work on? -Alan [1] http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Easy_Keys [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-bld/ [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-rdf-owl/
