Vipul, I've been looking this over, there's parts
I agree with completely, and parts I agree in
spirit, although I would quibble with words if
the specific wording becomes really important.
There is one thing, though, which I think is an
error and I must mention - you write
"Various candidate possibilities of representing
information and knowledge in an ontology are
based on available standards such as RDF, OWL and
SWRL."
RDF, RDF Schema, and OWL are indeed standards.
SWRL is not. It is a Note submitted by members,
and thus it has a VERY different status than the
others (and, in fact, the newly formed Rule
Interchange Format Working Group was chartered to
create a new Recommendation in this space).
If the group really wants rules in the ontologies
developed (I'd suspect we could go a long way
without them), I have no objection to choosing
SWRL, but we would have to make it clear to the
public that this is not a standard, may not be
the choice of an ongoing working group, and
therefore must be used at participants own risk.
(This would be true of any rule system proposed)
