Wolfgang, In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2000AprJun/0041.html you raised an issue with the RDF Schema candidate recommendation which was captured in http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfs-primitive-properties as [[[ Summary: The submitter suggests that the properties rdfs:subClassOf, rdf:type, rdfs:domain and rdfs:range should not be defined as instances of rdf:Property, but should instead be primitive. It is contended that rdf would then be less self referential and easier to understand. ]]] The RDFCore WG carefully considered this suggestion, but decided not to proceed with it, on the grounds that no problem with the current proposal had been identified. This decision is documented in: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20010801-f2f/#decisions Please could you reply to this message, copying www-rdf-comments, indicating whether this is an acceptable resolution of this issue. Brian McBride RDFCore co-chair
