Re: [TF-Ent] RIF Core Entailment section

Chime,
here are my small editorial comments:

Is the generic RIF URI sufficient or do we need more specific URIs,
e.g., http://www.w3.org/ns/entailment/RIF-RDF-Core or even
http://www.w3.org/ns/entailment/RIF-RDF-Strongly-Safe-Core?

Should we not allow graphs that don't have any spraql-rif:usesRuleset? E.g.:
Legal Graphs: Any legal RDF graph in which each statement with the
predicate sparql-rif:usesRuleset has as object a URI that refers to a
strongly safe RIF Core document. In that case it would just boil down
to simple entailment I would think.

What's the full URL for sparql-rif? Maybe we have to reserve a special
URI for this?

I suggest rephrasing:
Inconsistency: As with the RDF entailment regime, any legal RDF graph
is always *RIF-RDF* consistent and no inconsistency handling is
required.

In the definition of possible solutions, should we not say "the
strongly safe RIF core document*s* referenced from SG."? As I
understand it there could be several references rule sets. And maybe
add "referenced from SG via the sparql-rif:usesRuleset predicate"?
Just to make it even clearer.

I have an example (see Section 2.3) that uses "a" instead of
"rdf:type", but for the vocabulary of the graph that counts as
rdf:type and I point that out when I discuss how the answers are
derived and point to the Turtle document section that also explicitly
says that such abbreviations are to be read as their expanded forms. I
don't repeat this comment for all regimes since it is already clear
from the Turtle document and it might not be necessary to explicitly
say it again for the RIF regime.

In C1, I would also say strongly safe and not just safe because that's
what was used in the legal graphs section.

The editorial note following the main definition of the ent. regime is
not clear to me. The following suggestion won't really clarify it, but
might still be useful. I wouldn't call it C8 because in the referenced
definition it is just 8. and I would add a hyperlink for
common-RIF-RDF interpretation as further up in the text.

In the first example, in line (1) shouldn't <> be [] to denote a blank node?

Can we replace the ehr prefix with the ex prefix? Otherwise we should
either explicitly define the prefix or add it to the preliminaries
section, where we define a couple of prefixes and say that we assume
that such definitions are implicitly present in all graphs and
queries.

Similarly for the time predicate.

I am not sure I really understand the last editorial note about RDFS/OWL.
