<p>Hendler suggested that our goal is a W3C working draft with roughly the
|
|
following outline:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>compelling use cases (5ish)</li>
|
|
<li>requirements arising from use cases</li>
|
|
<li>appendix containing additional use cases not contributing to 2</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>later it was suggested, and generally agreed, that high-level design
|
|
goals should be included as well. @@when was that?</em></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Connolly suggested that we use "requirement" in the sense of "if we don't
|
|
have this, we're not done"; things that we generally agree are desireable but
|
|
not essential should be called "goals".</p>

<p>Mention of frame-based system sparked a discussion of user communities.
|
|
Hendler observed that there are at least two different user communities, and

we should be aware of the needs (including documentation, ...) of the various

communities.</p>
|
|

<p>Hendler <a name="clarified" id="clarified">clarified our charter w.r.t.

rules</a>: it's recognized that rules are needed in the Semantic Web, but

ontologies are speparable, and there's more consensus on the technical design

at the ontology level</p>

<p>We reviewed some terms:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Three or four possibilities emerged:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>a syntactic embedding of owl into rdf:
|
|
<p>OWL : RDF :: RDF : XML</p>
|
|
<p>Syntax: Every OWL document is syntactically an RDF document.</p>
|
|
<p>Semantics: some RDF-entailment conclusions contradict OWL-entailment
|
|
conclusions. OWL is not sound nor complete w.r.t. RDF(S).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>owl has syntactic features that go beyond rdf
|
|
<p>OWL : RDF :: FOPL : propositional calculus</p>
|
|
<p>Syntax: some OWL documents aren't RDF documents.</p>
|
|
<p>Semantics: OWL is complete w.r.t. RDF but (of course) not sound.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>OWL shares syntax and semantics with RDF
|
|
<p>This leads to <a href="#L6476">paradoxes, as noted earlier</a>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>a fourth possibility is peter's owl', in which owl' is a semantic
|
|
restriction of a syntactic restriction of rdfs</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DanC does a staw poll on the three suggestions: which is your favorite?
|
|
which can you not live with?</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>~8 prefer; 1 opposed</li>
|
|
<li>~2 prefer; ~2 opposed</li>
|
|
<li>1 prefer; ~7 opposed</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Frank vH observed that perhaps the most significant conclusion to be drawn
|
|
from these data is that many participants have not arrived at any position on
|
|
these issues.</p>
