Thanks for your comments. There is now an updated editor's draft that incorporates your suggestions. thx. The editor's draft is in its usual place so the link on the webont page will take you to: http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/webont/OWLOverview.htm to see the updated editor's draft. i answer your question below in context. Thanks again for your careful reading of the document and the comments, Deborah Jeff Rafter wrote: >Picky stuff... sorry : ) > >Overview, section 1.3, 1.4 wording, 2.1 versioning, 3.3, 4 > >1.3 Use of the word "emposed"-- should be "imposed". > done >1.4 "This document first describes the features from OWL Lite, followed by a >description from the features that are added in OWL DL and OWL Full " -- >Alternate usage of prepositions from/in could be clarified: "This document >first describes the features in OWL Lite, followed by a description of the >features that are added in OWL DL and OWL Full "-- both "in"s could be >changed to "from"-- but the should agree. > done - used in >2.1 Versioning section: "inCompatibleWith" should be "incompatibleWith" > done >3.3 InverseFunctionalProperty: "isTheSocialSecurityNumberFor" appears twice, >the character case in the second instance is wrong >"isTheSocialSecurityNumberfor" > done >4. hasValue: "theNetherlands" appears twice, the character case in the >second instance is wrong "TheNetherlands" > the second occurrence started a sentence thus one would expect the first word in the sentence to be capitalized.

This is not necessarily the most specific max cardinality restriction if as in the case you mention below, there is a more specific enumerated set (i.e., an enumerated set with a smaller number of distinct elements in it.) I did not change the text of the document since we do not mention on all of the other statements of the form.... "from this a reasoner can deduce..." that of course more specific information will mean that the reasoner may be able to deduce more specific information. >It seems that it can infer this, but not absolutely deduce. >For example a property like weekendDays in OWL DL may have maxCardinality of >2, not 7. 7 is the absolute max but additional restrictions would need to be >considered, right? > >Cheers, >Jeff Rafter > > > -- Deborah L.
