TITLE: design trade-offs in syntax of OWL DL DESCRIPTION: Any matching of RDF triples with a DL view is going to have some ugliness somewhere. The current AS&S design has prioritised a clean abstract syntax and allowed the concrete exchanged syntax to be very difficult to describe, test, implement or understand. An alternative emphasis in the design on a clean characterization of OWL DL in RDF graphs, should be explored. This will put some of the ugliness in the mismatch into the abstract syntax. It is important to give an intelligible and correct explanation of what RDF graphs are in OWL Lite and OWL DL, that is genuinely usable by both humans and tools.
