I appreciate the effort to include OWL in the objectives section, but I feel the current approach to these other semantic layers is a bit short-sighted. Some people think RDFS is neat, I think description logics (and OWL-DL) are pretty spiffy, and others like rules languages like SWRL. In time people may well come up with other ways of encoding knowledge. Importantly, only a very few of these languages/technologies have "structure" that can be sensibly and canonically realized in RDF. I would simply recommend that we really address the "RDF as data model for the semantic web" notion on which all these other technologies are predicated. Some suggested text: 4.6 Additional semantic knowledge It should be possible for knowledge encoded in other semantic languages, such as RDFS, OWL, and SWRL to affect the results of queries about RDF graphs.
