hence not really satisfactory. That does not mean such
attempts are without value.
Hi Matthew - I think you have a small understanding. OWL 2 has two
interpretations : Direct (i.e. DL) and RDF-based (more like FOL) and
so you don't have to stick with the DL limitations for 15926 as OWL.
That's why there will likely be at least two representations in the
PCA project ... one or more wearing the DL straightjacket to support
reasoning, and one unencumbered by DL to support data integration.
Cheers,
David
