<p>Hendler reviews technical relationships between Lite, DL, and Full, test
methodology, and the difference between defining/checking conformance and
demonstrating implementation experience.</p>
<p>The WG discussed the costs and benefits of specifying conformance of
classes of software in addition to the (unanimously supported) specification
of classes of documents.</p>
<p>12:01:19</p>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: add a test document section for Syntax checker
that can tell the difference between OWL sublanguages<br />
Abstain: Connoly, Hendler <br />
<strong>ACTION Carroll</strong>: to add a test for syntax checker<br />
<strong>ACTION Patel-Schneider</strong>: add definition of OWL Lite
document</p>
<p>12:09:44</p>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: The test document should specify the
conformance clauses for OWL Lite, DL, and FULL documents</p>
<p>[13:58:13]</p>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: that the OWL test document shall specify
conformance of consistency checkers {Lite, DL, Full} x {Incomplete,
Complete}. Complete is to be understood as "Logically complete". DeRoo,
