Hi, here is a draft response  to LC comment 45. Cheers, Uli

Dear Marko,

thank you for your comment
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2009Jan/0050.html 
  on
the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language last call drafts.

We acknowledge the importance of implementations and tool support and,  
indeed, implementations supporting OWL 2 will be a condition for the  
standardization of OWL 2. It is, however, not in the scope of this  
working group to standardize communications protocols [1].

On the other hand, we will publish a document of test cases [2] and  
would welcome help in the generation and testing of these cases. So,  
if you think that OWLlink would be a suitable tool for testing our  
test cases, then it would be great if you could coordinate with the  
working group, for example Markus Kroetzsch and Mike Smith.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email to public-owl-comments@w3.org  
(replying to this email should suffice). In your acknowledgment please  
let us know whether or not you are satisfied  with the working group's  
response to your comment.

Regards,
Uli Sattler
on behalf of the W3C OWL Working Group
