compliance level 1 document was discussed.  We agreed to have 3

have a title of Feature Synopsis for the OWL Web Ontology Language and
it was agreed that the document would contain a description of OWL Lite
and the OWL language.  McGuinness and van Harmelen have are updating the
document and will provide it no later than June 24.
(small status update - mcguinness has received input from van harmelen
and is incorporating).

B – The document that is an update to the DAML+OIL document.
Some have referred to this as the OWL syntax synopsis document.
The name agreed on is the
OWL Reference Description Document
Mike Dean will provide an update to the document.

C – The document previously called: Feature Synopsis of the OWL Ontology
Language.
The agreed upon name is the:
Formal Specification of the OWL Web Ontology Language.

Peter, Ian, Frank, and Deborah all offered to help with the document and
Peter will send out an update to the document.


3 – Constructors in level 1/ OWL Lite.
We reached consensus to maintain the features in OWL Lite in accordance
with the proposal submitted by McGuinness on May 26 at:
