Several new features that were not in the initial list of new features have been added to NF&R recently to make NF&R comprehensive. Unfortunately, this highlights the fact that these new features do not have the same level of rationale as the other new features. These new features are: - data range boolean combinations - datatype definitions - annotation property axioms (subproperty, domain, range) - top and bottom properties - anonymous individuals - inverse properties None of these features have the same level of rationale as the initial list of new features but some of them have some rationale in NF&R. The WG should probably ensure that each of these features does have an adequate rationale in NF&R. My suggestion is that whoever was behind each of these features (You should remember who you are!) should be responsible for determining whether the rationale in NF&R is adequate and producing a message to the WG so indicating or producing some rationale to put in NF&R. It would be best if these rationales were not technical rationales. peter PS: Here are my initial thoughts on which of these features have adequate rationale: data range boolean combinations no - no rationale or example datatype definitions no - no rationale or example annotation property axioms no - except for subproperty top and bottom properties no - no rationale or example anonymous individuals maybe - technical argument inverse properties maybe - technical argument
