Still, I am not completely sure to fully understand your point and I would appreciate you could refine your argument on what is in and what is out of the scope of the discussion of the working group. 1) You decide it is out of the scope of the working group to discuss SWRL? Fine with me, because ... <censored>. 2) You decide it is out of the scope of the working group to discuss the rationale of restriction the expressive power of a logical language? I am willing to follow you on this since the charter already implemented such an argument in an excellent manner. Instead of having such a discussion it may be enough to point from time to time to our charter. I assume, nobody of us wants to end up with SOL=RIF? 3) You decide it is out of the scope of the working group to discuss the rationale for properly defining the expressive power of a rule language? I am willing to follow you on this since the charter already implemented such an argument in an excellent manner. Instead of having such a discussion it may be enough to point from time to time to our charter. I assume, nobody of us wants to end up with RIF is not implementable? I would very much appreciate if you could clarify your leadership to one of your humble WG member. -Dieter ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dieter Fensel, http://www.deri.org/ Tel.: +43-512-5076485/8 Skype: dieterfensel
