I agree. From my survey [1] SWRL is only a little piece of a much larger puzzle. > Also, adding SWRL confuses rule processing with other kinds of > inferencing, and it is not clear to me this is an objective of this WG > (in fact, I would point out that it is probably out of scope given > section 2.2 of the charter [1]) I tend to agree: as far as I understand the charter, no "reasoning" should be involved here, only the simple matching (see my other email). On the other hand, it is important that the query language chosen here will be compatible with the upper layers (such as SWRL and OWL) in terms of its (logic-based) semantics. cheers --e.
