The chair is stepping in now. 1 - I am not willing to reopen any current decisions of the WG with respect to closed issues based on the current discussion - this means I'd like not to hear "should we do something different than DL for OWL DL" at this point. 2 - I see no reason to discuss the history of Description Logics on this mailing list. rdf-logic is a wonderful place for that 3 - It may be the case that OWL-DL wishes to point at some of this Description Logic literature, in which case I might suggest someone take what was in Deb's note, turn it into text and find an appropriate place in our documents (maybe Guide?) to reference it. One of the arguments for having OWL DL was the perception that there existed this literature, as well as a market segment (in the medical informatics world) so the literature pointers might be worth collecting -- but not worth arguing about on this mailing list. 4 - Jeremy's proposal for a different semantic restriction for Owl Lite does not contradict any explicit decisions made by the WG as far as I can tell - thus, please focus any discussion of the ramifications of what he proposes on what he proposes, not on general discussion and flaming that adds nothing to that discussion. - we all get plenty of email as it is without revisiting a lot of this - rdf-logic has been boring lately, a much better place to flame -JH -- Professor James Hendler hendler@cs.umd.edu Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 240-731-3822 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler
