ACTION-733 started: my very belated OWLRL-RIF review

Sorry, I had completely delayed this... here my first few comments  
(upto end of section 4.3), the rest to follow shortly...



1)
the suggestion of rif:error as a unary predicate is a good idea, but  
conflicts with the use of rif:error as a 0-ary prediacte in the RDF- 
OWL-compatibility document [1]

2)
I am afraid there is a problem with rule (* eq-diff2 *)... It does not  
prevent that ?x and ?y bind to the SAME member of the list, where no  
inconsitency should apply... the solution is to extend the memeber  
predicate with an index. and let the rule apply to differently indexed  
members only, i.e. :


   Group (
    Forall ?list ?hd (
      _member(?list ?hd 0 ) :- ?list[rdf:first -> ?hd] )

    Forall ?list ?tl ?x (
      _member( ?list ?x External( func:numeric-add( ?i+1 ) ) ) :- And 
( ?list[rdf:rest -> ?tl] _member(?tl ?x ?i) ) )
   )

then (* eq-diff2 *) can be rewritten to:

    Forall ?x ?y ?l (
     rif:error("AllDifferent") :- And (
         ?l[rdf:type -> owl:AllDifferent]
         _member(?l ?x ?i) _member(?l ?y ?j)
         External( pred:numeric-not-equal ( ?i ?j ) )
         ?x[owl:sameAs->?y] ) )

  And analogously for   (* prp-adp *) and (* cax-adc *)
