Re: accuracy check on OWL-DL reasoners

It may be now, but it was not so a year ago. My info was outdated.  I see
that Racer has announced an upcoming complete version, and Pellet has
become complete some 6 months ago. But my point is still valid. It took
quite a few years to achieve a complete implementation after the official
release of OWL.  Another important point is that without the OWL
specification there would probably be little incentive to go all the way
and implement those less critical aspects of OWL.

So, if we set the bar too low for RIF then there will be no incentive to
work on complete implementations of important features (like equality)
either.
