Ok

The presentation syntax is not the same as the EBNF syntax.

Presentation syntax is a superconcept for both mathematical English and EBNF syntax.

It is now explicitly described in section 2.

 

- Beside my usual rant about the presentation syntax, I said, I suggest 
that section 3 be renamed "RIF-Core as a specialisation of RIF-BLD", and 
that section 6 (RIF-Core as a specialisation of RIF-PRD) be moved next to 
it (that is, to become section 3); 

 

I move section 6 before section 3 since it describes the presentation syntax of RIF Core as a specialization of RIF PRD.

 

- I would also move what is currently the first paragraph of section 2 
into the overview (esp. if the section is renamed as suggested);

 

I think the mathematical presentation syntax is important enough to have it here before the section about semnatics and safeness.

 

- talking of section 6 (RIF-Core as a specialisation of RIF-PRD): it might 
be a good idea to point to the section Interoperability in RIF-PRD [1]

 

Done

 

- Sub-sections 2.6.1 to 2.6.3 seem very detailled wrt the rest of the 
document, and esp. the normative parts of it. I suggest removing the 
subsections, mentioning only once the EBNF for RIF-Core presentation 
syntax is a specialisation of RIF-BLD presentation syntax, and append the 
three paragraphs about examples 2-4. Btw, the EBNF for the RIF-Core PS is 
also a specialisation of the EBNF for RIF-PRD PS.

 

Currently, it reflects the modular design of RIF Core consisting of  a condition language, a rule language and a core annotations and the one to one mapping to the corresponding BLD parts can be easily seen. 

I tend to keep that clear structure, also because beside 3 headings and two sentences it will not safe much text.  However, I do not object to your proposal if the other editors also would like to have it less detailed.

There is one that you will not need otake into account, because I remove it:

That is not true, of course. Core/BLD/PRD do not include SWC by reference; they refer correctly to other specs, including SWC, for non-RIF import; 

Cheers, 

Christian
