I suggest adding the following sentence to the end of the paragraph
in the ref manual.
Comments? re-wordings?
Pat
-----------------
Imports
Each daml:imports statement references another DAML+OIL ontology
containing definitions that apply to the current DAML+OIL resource.
Each reference
consists of a URI specifying from where the ontology is to be
imported from. See the example above. Imports statements are
transitive, that is, if ontology A
imports B, and B imports C, then A imports both B and C. Importing
an ontology into itself is considered a null action, so if ontology A
imports B and B imports A, then they are
considered to be equivalent.
