( <http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/unionOfP.n3> <http://www.w3.org/2001/10/daml+oil> ) log:entails <http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/unionOfC.n3> . This is using an RDF/N3 presentation syntax but the RDF/XML resources are there as well (I hope with not too many bugs, as I had to do the RDF list stuff by hand instead of using CWM's N3-to-RDF) I'm looking forward to the discussion during [[[ TUESDAY JULY 2 ... 14.00 - 15.00 TEST work Discussion on test approach and plan. Jeremy's report on TEST session at A'dam ftf: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Apr/0156.html Ian's message on test cases http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Jun/0018.html ]]] -- http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/ftf3.html -- , Jos De Roo, AGFA http://www.agfa.com/w3c/jdroo/
