ACTION: task force unasserted triples

PROPOSED ACTION: for the "dark triple task force" (Jeremy Carroll,
Jonathan Borden, Jos de Roo, Massimo Marchiori, Pat Hayes, Peter
Patel-Schneider)
 
Yesterday at the telecon of the Semantic Web Coordination Group the
status of the "unasserted/dark triples" request to RDF Core was
discussed. The CG felt that a  clarification of this request is needed,
in particular:

1. Rationale for the request, including at least one understandable
example which motivates the request. 

2. How do "unasserted triples" solve this problem?

3. What do we lose (if anything) when adopting unasserted triples?  
(See, e.g., Problems with dark triples approach, Jeremy Carroll Wed, Apr
17 2002
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Apr/0132.html)

The SW CG asks the Webont task force to come up with such a description
by Monday May 6. Please indicate whether you accept this action and
whether it is feasible to do this within the stated time frame..

Thanks, Guus
