I certainly agree with the second sentence. But the little semantics
that most OWL users actually use does not require anything more than
Aristotle. (02)
In short, if anybody wants to use OWL because it's a standard, I have
no quarrel. But for the long term, I believe that the SW will have
to do something similar to what they did in going from full-blown
RDF to the much simpler RDFa combined with something like JSON. (03)
And I don't mean SKOS. What I mean is closer to Aristotle, but
it could be called OWLa (where "a" stands for Aristotle or Athena
-- or OWLm, if you prefer Minerva). (04)
Furthermore, it's essential for the SW to dump that totally irrelevant
and hopelessly misleading buzzword "decidability". (05)
