Dan, Brian,
As you know, DAML+OIL is built on top of RDF/RDF Schema. Now that the
RDF Core Working Group has started its activities, the "joint committee"
who has designed DAML+OIL has written a document that describes which
areas of RDF and RDF Schema need attention based on our experiences with
defining DAML+OIL as an extension of RDF Schema. We present the document
to the RDF Core WG as input for your activities.
You can find the document at
http://www.daml.org/2001/07/RDFS-DAML+OIL-coordination.html
We hope you will find this material useful input to the RDF Core WG.
This is a public document, so feel free to distribute it inside and/or
outside the RDF Core WG, as you see fit.
On behalf of the "joint committee for DAML+OIL",
Frank van Harmelen.
