Policy to deal with ultra-late-in-the-process comments? [FW: OWL Primer]

Hi!

How do we deal with these kinds of requests from now on? I would think that
we will generally reject them as being too late. The only exception should
be the correction of obvious bugs, such as typos, etc.

Cheers,
Michael

Subject: OWL Primer

Hi All,
as a reader of the primer and not as a master of OWL I woul suggest some
minor changes in order to make the document more understandable: 

1) paragraph 4.2 
where is written :<Besides this, it is also reflexive, meaning that every
class is its own subclass – this is intuitive as well since clearly, every
person is a person etc.. >
i would eliminate "this is intuitive as well since clearly, every person is
a person etc" since it could be confusing rather than illustrative

2) paragraph 4.4 
where is written: <names might be constructions with “of” or with “has”
(wifeOf or hasWife). For verbs (like “to love”) an inflected form (loves) or
a passive version with “by” (lovedBy) would prevent unintended readings. >
property label constructed appending prepositions like in wifeOf or lovedBy
is questionable. It doesn't avoid the possibility of a mistake. See for
example the OWL/XML Syntax of the wife relationship between Bill and Mary.
What about using Andrea instead of Bill. Who is the wife ?. A modeler that
needs to state that two persons are in
a "wife" relationship probably creates two disjoint classes, Man and Woman
with the first class as the domain and the second its range so avoiding all
possible confusion.
See for example what TBL write about this issue here 

3) paragraph 5.2 
Maybe can be added the line <Natural language indicators for the usage of
existential quantification are words like "one" or “some” > 

6) paragrafo 6.1 
where is written: <it is also possible to indicate that the inverse of a
given property is functional >
maybe it means "it is also possible to indicate that the inverse of a given
functional property is functional too"

Regards
