Re: ISSUE-127 (narynotyet): documents contain bits of nary datatype but these are not yet in OWL 2 [editorial] from Bijan Parsia on 2008-05-24 (public-owl-wg@w3.org from May 2008)

Since discussion has already started, let me add a point I've already  
sent to the chairs.

This issue rests on a mistake. The current (minimal) n-ary data  
predicate support is an accepted part of the language. It was part of  
the submission (and was always a part of OWL 1.1) and it was part of  
the first working draft. What we have not decided as a working group  
is whether we will elaborate that (minimal) support or remove it  
altogether. At the moment, given the recent report from HP, I believe  
there is *no* current expressed support in the WG for removing the  
minimal support. Thus, this proposal, unless it expresses a new  
desire on the part of the raiser (in which case it is misphrased), is  
doubly mistaken.

Cheers,
Bijan.
