FW: OWL1.1 and its mapping to RDF [Fwd: new release of the OWL 1.1 specification]

This issue was raised a few weeks ago on our TC, so I wanted to let everyone know that there now appears to be resolution on it.

cheers,

Hi all,

We have just released a new version of the following documents in the
OWL 1.1 specification:

   - Mapping to RDF graphs
   - Structural Specification
   - Semantics
   - XML syntax

The most important changes concern the Mapping to RDF graphs. This
document now specifies a transformation from OWL 1.1 functional-style syntax
to RDF which comprises the full language (including punning and
annotations on axioms). This document also specifies a transformation
from RDF to
OWL 1.1 functional-style syntax and determines the conditions under
which an RDF document is valid OWL 1.1

The changes in the structural specification document are minor:
    - owl:imports is no longer considered as an ontology annotation,
but as a separate construct
     - inverses of object properties are now also available as object
property axioms (as in OWL DL). This change is motivated by backwards
compatibility with OWL DL. Note that inverses are also available as an
object property expression.

The remaining documents have been updated accordingly.


Cheers

Bernardo
