Pat,    (01)

I agree that the proof box is misplaced, but I think
that the major problem is that the logic box is not
correctly positioned.    (02)

Unifying Logic is the framework that includes the others
as subsets:  RDF, RDF-S, Rule RIF, OWL, and SPARQL.    (05)

Each of these subsets is tailored for a specific kind of
inference engine and/or a specific range of uses.  What
unifies them is the common model-theoretic semantics.
That semantics enables all of them to interoperate on
shared data and produce consistent results.    (06)

My suggestion would be to draw the Unifying Logic box as
a large container that includes all the others inside:
RDF, RDF-S, Rule RIF, OWL, and SPARQL.    (07)
