Dear All, Ian Horrocks and I recently have a paper "Metamodeling Architecture of Web Ontology Languages" accepted for the Stanford SWWS symposium. Here is the abstract and link for full paper: Abstract Recent research has shown that RDF Schema, as a schema layer Semantic Web language, has a non-standard metamodeling architecture. As a result, it is difficult to understand and lacks clear semantics. This paper proposes a fixed layer metamodeling architecture for RDF Schema (RDFS(FA)) and demonstrates how the problems of RDF Schema can be solved under RDFS(FA). Based on this metamodeling architecture, a clear model-theoretic semantics of RDFS(FA) is given. Interestingly, RDFS(FA) also benefits DAML+OIL by offering a firm semantic basis and by solving the ``layer mistake'' problem.
