Bijan, Sorry for the delayed response. Seems that we don't quite agree on the how much additional cost by leaving axiom triples out. I am glad to see at least we agree that it requires a more sophisticated implementation. :) Can I ask the WG then to simply the mapping so that unsophisticated developers like me have an easier time implementing OWL2 in a commercial product. I believe that is a very reasonable request. Cheers, Zhe Bijan Parsia wrote: > > Just to be clear, I'm not advocating putting in the triple or leaving > it out at this point.
