Dear Michael,
Thank you for your comment
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2009Feb/
0256.html>
on the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language last call drafts.
Thank you for pointing out this problem. The Syntactic Conformance
section of the Conformance and Test Cases document (see [1]) has been
revised to be clearer in general and to rectify this error in
particular -- it now explicitly refers to RDF/XML documents and says:
"An OWL 2 DL ontology document is an OWL 2 Full ontology document
that can be successfully parsed using the canonical parsing process
as defined in the OWL 2 Syntax specification [OWL 2 Specification]
and the procedure for mapping from RDF graphs to the structural
specification described in the OWL 2 Mapping to RDF Graphs [OWL 2
Mapping to RDF Graphs] to produce an instance of the OWL 2 ontology
class satisfying all of the restrictions described in Section 3 of
the OWL 2 Syntax specification [OWL 2 Specification]."
Note that in response to other last call comments Section 3 of the
OWL 2 Syntax specification is being revised to ensure that it lists
all the restrictions that apply to OWL DL ontology structures.
