DAML+OIL (March 2001)

We will release DAML+OIL (March 2001) this evening.

Kelly is reapplying Pat's updates, to preserve the CVS revision trail (Netscape Composer reformats the document). Peter will update the model theoretic semantics to replace references to abstract and concrete classes; Ian will update daml+oil-ex.daml.

There has been some email discussion regarding daml:equivalentTo. We'll leave it in and specify that daml:equivalentTo has the semantics of sameAs when the subject and object are both Classes or Properties. ACTION (Peter): update model theoretic semantics to address daml:equivalentTo, and make sure it is discussed in reference.html.

ACTION (Mike): announce release tonight after updates are finished.

Next Week

Jim Hendler will update everyone on the proposed W3C Web Ontology Working Group.

Future Meetings

Peter will write-up an idea for adding "non-OPS" rules (condition/action vs. inference) to DAML+OIL.
