Re: Question regarding owl:DeprecatedClass and owl:DeprecatedProperty

Tom,

In follow-up to this, a couple of emails on the OWL working group 
indicated that it would be good to raise the issue of OWL 1.1 
compatibility, and specifically OWL 1.1 DL compatibility with those 
working on SKOS, what our interest / willingness to provide such a 
capability is, and to also talk further about the deprecation issue.

We may already have a full agenda for this coming week given all of the 
work I've seen flying by, but if it makes sense, I'd like to add this to 
the agenda, at least for a short discussion, for our February 5 call.

The current set of draft documents for OWL 1.1 can be found at 
http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/OWL_Working_Group - see the list of 
drafts in the left margin.  Note that these are still early drafts, but 
known issues are inserted in many cases.

Thanks,

Elisa
