Here's a simple OWL question, that all of these tools seem to answer in a different way: What is the connection between the physical URI of an ontology definition document and the logical URI that is used for the owl:Classes defined in that document? Here are some possible answers for what the logical URI is: 1) It's the same as the physical URI. 2) It's the default namespace of the definition document (the xmlns="namespace"). 3) It's the value of the rdf:about attribute of the owl:Ontology element. 4) It's not even in the document, but has to be supplied by a "LogicalURIResolver", which somehow has access to a database of logical/physical mappings. 5) None of the above, so you had better hard code it in the definition of every single class. The published OWL Guide/Reference appear to me to be using (2), but nothing explicitly says that that's how it should be. Any guidance?
