Semantics issue http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#qu-03 was summarized by Pat in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0318.html as [[ There is a class of languages called 'ontology languages'. Considered as an ontology language, RDFS provides too much expressive power, and the extra power is inappropriate for an ontology language. Therefore, it would be desirable if a subset of RDFS could be identified which conforms to the requirements for an ontology language (by imposing constraints on the ability to define classes of classes, classes of properties and properties of classes, as outlined later in your message.) ]] This co-chair states that the RDFCore WG was chartered to complete the work on RDF Schema. The definition of subsets of RDF Schema for particular purposes is out of scope for this WG. Propose the WG resolve: o This comment is not accepted on the grounds it is out of scope and the WG does not have the resources to take on this additional task. Brian
