This attempts to be an executive summary of the comments on the feature synopsis document. It is a followon to a previous summary [1]. It is broken into language design comments and document form comments. A few themes emerge: - positive feedback on both Full OWL and OWL Lite - plea for special names for limited cardinalities (this may be along the lines of the original proposed naming scheme) - perhaps remove symmetric and transitive from OWL Lite - previous theme of a request for hasValue in OWL Lite as well as oneof Design comments --------------- Bobrow: - strongly positive on both Full OWL and OWL Light - plea for special names for ltd. cardinalities - perhaps remove symmetric and transitive MacGregor: - overall - introduce special names for ltd cardinalities in OWL Light - emphasise lack of upward compatability with RDF(S) - remove transitive and symmetric from OWL Light - put list-constructors from DAML+OIL back in - drop Full OWL, and stop at OWL Light Euzenat: - introduce special names for ltd cardinalities in OWL Light - provide a general "metadata for ontologies" placeholder, rather than deciding on specific pieces of metadata. Emery: - overal positive feedback - OWL Lite is wrong name (doesn't suggest stepping stone to Full OWL) - a number of fixable (fixed) small problems Elaroussi: - confusion on RDF/OWL relation (is every RDF doc an OWL doc, or vice versa?) Kiryakov: - technical problem with Importing terms from RDF/RDFS" (as done in the DAML+OIL def.) fix provided Form comments: -------------- Uschold: - provide quick difference lists between DAML+OIL and OWL/OWL Light Euzenat: - decide between writing a primer or a reference card - various style comments Emery: - avoid "Individual" as a word Becket: - various style/formatting/fixable comments [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Aug/0097.html Frank and Deborah -- Deborah L.
