I wanted to say a few things as the guilty editor (I co-edit RDF concepts) 1: the WG has decided that concepts is going to last call expecting to have this issue discussed as a last call issue - i.e. we saw that Peter, in particular, had a different view from the RDF Core WG 2: as editor I am very neutral - I really don't care about this issue - I see people like Dan and Peter (and also TimBL) with strongly held opinions - and I have sympathy with both sides 3: the ideal outcome for me is that we can get some other form of words that both sides can live with - I wonder whether Dan Brickley was getting closer in his discussion about relating RDF to the real world. I suspect Dan's text would not wholly please either side of the debate - but might be stuff that they could live with. 4: it's important that opinions get registered on RDF comments - by all means link back to discussion here, but if it's not in RDF comments it won't get counted. Given the strength of feeling its worth indicating whether you are speaking for yourself or for your organisation (for instance, I do not believe that there will be consensus in WebOnt to offer an opinion on behalf of the WG). Peter seems to believe that Lucent would share his view; Chris seemed overwhelmed, but I note that neither IBM rep on RDF Core has been. If you send message to www-rdf-comments immediatly (before the last call gets published) please clearly label it as a last call comment; it's probably slightly easier if you hold off for a few days. I am expecting only changes in the date and status section of the current last call candidate, which has been approved for publication: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/TR/WD-rdf-concepts-20030117/ 5: realistically, I expect this to still be live at the plenary, when I hope to be able to lock some of the various adverseries in a room until they can agree text that both sides can live with.
