You are claiming OWL DL is a theoretical structure that needs a 6 month CR period. I am claiming that it is an implementable and implemented system that can go right to PR. Given these are diametrically opposed and crucial to the next steps for our WG, I think we are disagreeing. If you put a "12x12 tic-tac-toe" test into our test set, and then no one passes it, that wouldn't be a fair test - because no computing system in the world can do it (non-heuristically) - if you do "3x3 tic-tac-toe" then you are in a relam where it is doable, and I'd be surprised if we don't see people do it. -JH p.s. please note "tic-tac-toe" is in scare quotes because it is intended as a analogy, not a literal suggestion -- Professor James Hendler hendler@cs.umd.edu Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 *** 240-277-3388 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler *** NOTE CHANGED CELL NUMBER ***
