Hi, Richards' comment requests us to add a definition to the Primer. I agree with Peter that the Primer should not contain crazy talk. Furthermore, this definition is adequately present in both the Direct Semantics and the RDF-Based Semantics document. Rather than attempting to explain the meaning of 'Class', I think a reference to these documents will suffice. -Rinke On 14 mei 2009, at 02:47, Bijan Parsia wrote: > On 14 May 2009, at 00:57, Peter F.Patel-Schneider wrote: > [snip] >> I'm with Bijan on this one.
