XML Presentation Syntax Schema: Change Log

2003/02/04
'xsd:redefine' element was removed from 'owl1-dl-descriptionGroup.xsd' in order for the XML Schemas not to use xsd:redefine at all. This change allowed for the Schemas to be usable for more XML parsers, because it was reported a couple of XML parsers did not support the 'redefine' construct of XML Schema. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Feb/0052.html
2003/02/03
'Type' element (a child of 'Individual') was renamed back to 'type' because there are several cases of element names beginning with a small letter (e.g., SubClassOf/super, and ObjectRestriction/allValuesFrom). There was no strong reason only for 'type' element to be capitalized.
2003/01/30
'type' element (a child of 'Individual') was renamed as 'Type' to be consistent with the naming convention for element names to begin with a capital letter.
2003/01/27
Individuals in 'SameIndividual', 'DifferentIndividual' and 'EnumeratedClass' were changed from individual constructs to individual IDs, in order to be consistent with the OWL Abstract Syntax.
2003/01/26
'Annotation' element was extended as a placeholder of additional metadata (e.g., Dublin Core Metadata) to meet the requirement R5 Ontology metadata [http://www.w3.org/TR/webont-req/#req-metadata]. 'Annotation' may take elements that can be in any namespace other than the target namespace 'owls' (i.e., "http://www.w3.org/2003/OWL-XMLSchema"). See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0481.html
2003/01/25
'Label' element was introduced, in order to meet the requiremnet R18 User-displayable labels [http://www.w3.org/TR/webont-req/#req-user-labels]. See also (2) in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0464.html.
In addition, 'xml:lang' attribute was added to 'Label' and 'Documentation' elements, in order to meet the requirement of I18N (Internationalization) in R19. Supporting a character model [http://www.w3.org/TR/webont-req/#req-character-model]. See also http://www.w3.org/TR/webont-req/#goal-internationalization.
2003/01/24
The maximum occurence of 'Annotation' element in the 'annotated' complex type was changed to 1, because the content elements of the 'Annotation' in itself allows unbounded occurence. Note that multiple 'Annotation' elements are still allowed as immediate children of the root ('Ontology') element.
2003/01/23
'VersionInfo' element was added again because there was not any strong reason for the removal after all. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0382.html
2003/01/12
'VersionInfo' element was removed since it was not included in the versioning identifier. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Dec/0075.html
Child element 'Annotation' was removed from 'DeprecatedClass' and 'DepricatedProperty' and a class ID and a property ID attribute were added to 'DeprecatedClass' and 'DepricatedProperty' respectively.
2003/01/10
'type' of individuals was extended to have arbitrary descriptions in OWL DL/Full. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0157.html
2003/01/09
Update of the XML Schemas was posted as http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0152.html
2003/01/08
Elements for ontology versioning were added: DeprecatedClass, DeprecatedProperty, VersionInfo, PriorVersion, BackwardCompatibleWith.
The element names 'DataRestriction' and 'IndividualRestriction' were changed respectively to 'DatatypeRestriction' and 'ObjectRestriction'. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0140.html.
2003/01/07

2003/01/06
Constraints on property type are incorporated into 'SubPropertyOf' and 'EquivalentProperties'. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0112.html and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jan/0134.html.
2003/01/05
'EquivalentClasses' for OWL Lite was revised with restricted type of non-empty class IDs.
2003/01/04

2003/01/01

Created on the basis of Peter F. Patel-Schneider's XML presentation syntax Schema ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Dec/0249.html ). See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Dec/0295.html.
