I am not sure which "section on negation" you are referring to?!?

This shall be a simple use case on the use of implicit metadata via 
interlinked rule bases published on the Web and also the use of scoped 
negation in such a scenario. These are the two aspects I was missing
in the UCR document so far.

The need for RIF to define the exact interchange/interaction of such 
rulesbases manifests in the derived requirements:

1. Distributed rulesets on the Web shall provide means to decribe 
implicit interlinked metadata by rules.

2. Cyclic/Recursive dependencies of rulesets deserve special care which 
makes general interlinked rules more involved than simple one-way RDF 
data access via SPARQL.

3. Negation in queries needs to be explicitly scoped in order not to 
result in possibly unsound inferences due to incomplete information.

  Whatever use case covers both abovementioned aspects is fine with me. 
I don't see how your proposed use case is any simpler/clearer with 
respect to what I aim at.

Do you propose two separate new use cases on these aspects?
