From: Jim Hendler <hendler@cs.umd.edu> Subject: Review of Guide Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2003 18:49:23 -0500 [...] > [Note: use of term knowledge base (in ref to Peter's earlier remarks) > - Ref defines KB consistent with use in Guide, so I'm comfortable > with current usage in Guide] Reference uses ``knowledge base'' only once. It appears that this is a left-over use that should be changed to ``ontology''. Reference defines an OWL knowledge base as ``a collection of RDF triples''. Guide defines an (OWL) knowledge base as ``[a] set of OWL assertions loaded into a reasoning system''. These look very different to me. Related points: In Reference, the pointer for RDF triples should point to RDF Concepts, not to RDF/XML Syntax. Guide uses ``assertion'' quite a bit but does not really define what it is. peter
