Re: LC comments 18, 19, 59

Aside from having my name at the end, they look fine to me.  :-)

>> - instances of and how they are related via properties) is stored in a
>> - relational database DB, can be answered by rewriting the query Q into an
>> - SQL query Q1 and then answering Q1 against DB using a standard
>> - RDBMs. This property is known to be lost in the presence of sameAs. For
>> - the LOD community, we will add a small paragraph explaining that, in
>> - order to handle OWL 2 QL plus sameAs, a preprocessing step that
>> - materialises the sameAs relation or an extension of the rewriting
>> - technique that rewrites into recursive queries can be used, see
>> - http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/meeting/2009-02-24#OWL_QL .
>>
>> - functional properties can only be added under the so-called unique name
>> - assumption, i.e., different names denote different indiviudals. This
>> - assumption, together with functional properties, will lead to
>> - inconsistencies if an individual has 2 successors w.r.t. a functional
>> - property -- a semantics that is suitable for some applications and
>> - unsuitable for others. Hence we have chosen to not include functional
>> - properties to OWL 2QL.
