Comments on the 2/19 SWC doc (mostly proofreading type)

Abstract:
-------------
     what about replacing "compatibility" with "interoperation" in the 
text of 
     the abstract (or overview) - to give a sense of what is meant by 
compatibility
     in this context. (I'm not suggesting replacing it everywhere).


1.0 Overview
-----------------
     The main motivating scenario for interchange of RIF-RDF combinations
     is given as between two RDF-aware rule systems. In terms of RIF's
     purpose, it seems that interchange between an RDF aware and a non 
     RDF aware system is just as typical/valid of a target? Aware-non 
aware
     interchange is mentioned later, but it seems like it's presented as 
kind of a
     special case.

     1st para:
         of (logical) rules --> of logical rules

     4th para:
          rule sets explicitly points -->  rule set explicitly points 

     5th para:
          it allows to use RDF data --> it supports the use of RDF data

      9th para:
           4 --> four (twice)


2.0 RDF Compatibility

      uncle example, last word in para:
           marry --> mary 

      last para:
           Combinations are pairs of RIF rule sets and sets of RDF graphs 
-->
           A combination contains zero or one RIF rule set and any number 
of
           RDF graphs.

           We restrict our attention here to DTS, D, Ic, Iv, Iframe, Iisa 
and Isub 

          bulleted list:
              4th & 5th bullets are slightly out of sync with current BLD 
where Iv maps
              to Dind and Iframe maps to D X D -> D

             add bullets for Iisa and Isub
 

2.2.1.2
---------
     1st para (list of conditions):
          condition 1 
               isn't it redundant because it would have to be true if 
               condition 3 is true?

         condition 4

               is a superset of 
                   (because the subset requirement is part of the 
definition of RDF interpretation) 

         condition 5
                the set of all pairs (a,b), with a,b in D such that 
Islot(k)(a,b)=t for every k in D -->
                the set of all pairs (a,b), with a, b, k in D such that

          Talks about I satisfying R, but the term "satisfy" (-tion, 
ability) is no longer 
          defined or used in the FLD and BLD documents.  Same comment on
          the 3rd paragraph in section 2.0. 
 

3.0 OWL compatibility
-----------------------------
   Since OWL-DL and OWL-Full have different semantics, why is it 
   considered undesirable that different RIF constructs, each with
   the appropriate semantics, (the uncle example in 3.3.2) be used 
   to express rules under those two schemes?

3.2
----
   1st para:
       Since RDF graphs and OWL Full ontologies cannot be distinguished, 
we 
       use the notion of RIF-RDF combinations for the syntax of 
combinations
       of RIF rule sets with OWL Full ontologies
       -->
       Since RDF graphs and OWL Full ontologies cannot be distinguished, 
       we use the same syntax for RIF-OWL Full combinations as for
       RIF-RDF combinations

      depending on whether they are used in OWL DL or OWL Full

       hasUncle(?x,?y) --> hasUncle(?x,?z)

       ?x[hasUncle -> ?y] --> ?x[hasUncle -> ?z]


3.3.2.2
---------
     It would be good to briefly review OWL-DL interpretations here, like 
it
     is done for RDF interpretations in section 2.2.1.1

    1st definition:
         The symbol D used in 2 different ways here? (as the datatype map 
and as 
          the domain of the RIF interpretation.)

         condtions 3 & 4:   there's no Ir mapping in a RIF interpretation

    last definition:
         every OWL DL model of C satisfies S -->
         every OWL DL model of C satisfies O 
 

3.3.2.3
---------
    definition:
        Ir isn't part of a RIFinterpretation

         For the embedding we use the concrete syntax of RIF -->
         For the embedding we use the presenation syntax of RIF

5.6

   7th forall is missing "?" off a few variables


All sections
---------------
   Since RIF is pronounced beginning with a consonant sound,  "an RIF"
   should "a RIF."
