It was a language extension that we did not feel was justified by the charter and/or specific difficulties with RDF as defined. Generally, it was felt to be a Good Thing, but not our place to bless it. But since, I note that the OWL spec (DL/Lite at least) makes some quite severe assumptions about the nature of subject nodes, in relation to structures like class restrictions. I don't know how much work it would take to have OWL handle literal subjects in any useful way. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
