Re: Frozen version of OWL2 Requirements editor's draft available

Thanks.

As I compare the OWL use case document [1] and the proposed OWL 2 use
case document, there is a notable difference. The OWL use cases
emphasized on applications that are directly web related, e.g., web
portals. The OWL2  use cases, on the other hand,  have the majority
from domain applications, e.g., Health care and Life Science.

While domain applications will be for certain among the leading
application scenarios for OWL2, new web applications that got popular
after OWL was designed, e.g., Web 2.0, web services, linked data,
online video, webtop, etc.,  may also need more considerations. I
believe it will be helpful to invite more use cases from those web
applications.

The working group might need to come up with a way to attract more use
case contributions from the web domain (e.g., from .com companies),
not only by public calls, but also by more targeted contacts and
advertisements.
