What about the capability for OWL to deal with trust/provenance issues? If
anyone can say anything about anything (using RDF), we need a way to decide
what to reason about, that is, assertions might be filtered by XML sigs etc.
I certainly don't understand all the ways XML Sigs might interact with OWL.
In any case I hope such usage would be straightforward.
