I got hold of Sergey (who is trying to get out from under the hundreds of messages that piled up while he was away) by phone on the subclass cycle issue. He said he'd be on the teleconference on Friday (so consider this just an interim FYI), but basically he said after thinking about the issue following the F2F, he didn't see that allowing cycles in subClassOf would make a big difference one way or the other. He felt that not having the restriction against cycles was probably a more general way of handling them (since you could introduce application-specific restrictions if you wanted to), and that he wouldn't have a problem with removing the restriction against cycles if we wanted to conform with DAML on this. --Frank Brian McBride wrote: > snip > > ACTION 2001-08-31#2 Frank Manola > chase Sergei for his reaction to this proposed > resolution to issue rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf when he returns > (or shortly thereafter > -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
