Hello, At the Best Practices face-to-face meeting in November there was a brief discussion about expections for the OWL time ontology discussed in the OEP note [1] you authored. The concern was with how this would evolve with the languages underlying the Semantic Web. I voiced the expectation that, as the Semantic Web languages improve in expressivity (say if OWL were revised to be more expressive and/or a SW Rule language were Recommended), the description for OWL Time would also be revised to exploit this increased expressivity to refine/constrain the interpretation of the terms it currently describes. Did you anticipate that the Time ontology and/or its vocabulary would evolve in this way, or do you just think of it as an artifact of the current Semantic Web to be replaced by some new description as the languages evolve? -Evan Evan K.
