We are going to have "slotted" syntax in WD2. Why do we need Ntriples? Also, at the f2f we discussed that OWL uses RDF data, but strictly separates individuals from concepts. Just wanted to point out that sorts can give us a way to do that also. Simply require appropriate signatures for the subclassOf, memberOf relationships, and also for the attributes of objects (i.e., rolesd). --michael
