Hi! I want to inform the WG that the RDF-Based Semantics has now followed the rest of the OWL 2 specification (for example the Structural Spec), by changing all references to the term "URI" into "IRI" according to RFC 3987. I want to state that this is a deviation from the terminology used in the RDF Semantics, which used the term "URI" according to RFC 2396 ("ASCII-URIs"). I wanted to avoid such terminological deviations, whenever possible. But with the rest of the OWL 2 spec having explicitly changed to IRIs, I see no justification for keeping with the old term "URI" anymore. Since all URIs are IRIs, there is at least no technical compatibility problem with this change. I have made this change explicit both in the "Introduction" section and in the "Differences to OWL Full" appendix of the RDF-Based Semantics. Best, Michael -- Dipl.-Inform.
