Re: The 'valid time' requirement

I believe that the discussion so far points towards

1)      No

2)      Yes

Hello all,

After having discussed this issue in the teleconference of 2015-10-14<http://www.w3.org/2015/10/14-sdw-minutes>, I would like to suggest a two step approach to solving the issue. I think two questions need to be answered in order:

1) Is the requirement in scope for OWL Time deliverable?
2) If the answer to question 1 is 'no', could the requirement be in scope for the Best Practices deliverable?

Could we try to agree on an answer to question 1 first?

As stated before, my feeling is that OWL Time<http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/> is about representation of time, not about how such representations could be used. I like that definition of scope and we should not try to broaden it. Separation of concerns is an important design principle in a modular semantic web.

Are there reasons for answering the first question with 'yes'?

Regards,
Frans
