I have completed the following actions regarding the Requirements document: ACTION Jeff Heflin to add reference section to requirements document ACTION heflin Add second line to editors draft pointing at LC. ACTION heflin Change firstname/lastname to e-mail. ACTION heflin Add change log appendix to editors draft. You may view these changes in the Editor's Draft at: http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/~heflin/webont/reqdoc/ I am suggesting to respond to public-webont-comment on the "firstname/lastname" issue as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Misha, Thank you for bringing up the issue that the firstname/lastname example in Use Cases and Requirements was not culturaly neutral. I have ammended that paragraph with an e-mail address based example as suggested earlier in this thread. Here is the updated text: O11. String manipulation The language should support string concatenation and simple pattern matching. These features can be used to establish interoperability between ontologies that treat complex information as a formatted string and those that have separate properties for each component. For example, one ontology may represent an e-mail address as a single string, while another may divide it into a string for user name and a string for server name. To integrate the two ontologies, one would need to specify that the concatenation of the user name, the '@' character, and the server name is equivalent to the single value used in the first ontology. Please let me know if this is satisfactory. Sincerely, Jeff Heflin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is there anything I need to know about replying, to make sure I don't accidentally reopen the issue in the eyes of the automated issue tracking tools? Jeff
