>As an aside, I believe that I have made my views on what changes I want to >RDF and RDFS clear. (For a recap, with some additions, see below.) How >about let's propose them to the RDF Core WG? >Here are (most of) my proposed changes to RDF: >1/ Move rdf:type out of the theory into the metatheory >2/ Remove reification. >3/ Remove containers. >4/ Remove several syntax abbreviations. >I want 2 and 3 removed because they don't have appropriate meaning. I want >4 removed because it interferes with the correspondence between RDF and >XML. I want 1 moved because it causes semantic paradoxes in more-powerful >formalisms. I immediately agree on 1, 3, and 4. For 2, I would recommend a layered, i.e., stratified approach like UML or MOF has. It is up to the working group chairs to decide whether such an innitiative looks worth while to try.
