Since OWL Full, for example, licenses additional entailments above and beyond what is licensed by simple RDF, is there anyplace where the server of a document is allowed to indicate which entailments are licensed? It seems sort of essential to me that if you actually want RDF assertions to be taken with some semblence of those in a legal document that the asserter would have some ability to state under what theory the assertions are to be considered. Perhaps I am missing something here. Jonathan
