I assume that the chairs will require this proposal to be seconded before being considered. Nor would I want it considered if I am alone in my concerns. So at this stage I am looking for a seconder. I think the aspect of this issue concerning the syntactic characterization of OWL DL should be reopened. The key problems are: + the characterization in terms of the abstract syntax is too difficult to explain in terms of RDF triples + the abstract syntax characterizatrion interacts poorly with owl:imports + the limitations concerning blank nodes in RDF are insufficiently motivated. + the limitations seem to be excessively conservative. + the documents other than the abstract syntax (and the test cases) have not attempted to follow this resolution.
