My preference for two versions was that this way an implementor could clearly see what was expected in the comprehension axioms that might not be otherwise needed to pass the test. As far as rewrites go, I think we're in agreement - however the email from Jeremy/Dave said: >> >Hence Dave automatically transforms Graph2 into a query which he can then >> >execute againsts Graph1, and pass the test. which seems to me to be okay for a qualified pass -- if it said "Dave works hard to recode the graph into a query using his human powers of reasoning" then I would agree it wouldn't count -- but "automatically" seems to me to be acceptable as long as note is made. -JH -- 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 ***
