should it be legal (probably yes), should the RDF inference apply to the owl vocabulary (three views - (a) NO, (b) sure, but if you do you are outside the semantic domain of owl, (c) syntactically restrict those - i.e. owl graph could be simply "illegal" by owl) 23:09:33 possibility - put these together - i.e. something could say "if you are owl legal graph" you will work w/a tool like fact, but if you use RDF you may not get right inferences - but you'll still be legal owl. 23:10:59 i.e. consider a well-formed RDF graph that is "not sanctioned" by the OWL model - we could say it is legal, but not "owl coherent" or something like that 23:13:33 for example - some tools could say "if you are syntactically in owl (plus RDF etc.)" then my tool will work. Someone else could say "my tool is 'smarter' but you must use a restricted graph if you want guaranteed results 23:14:24 the hard part -- unclear exactly where we must "darken" what to acieve this. There is consensus we should strive to make this set as small as possible. 23:15:53 RDFS vs OWL issue w/respect to what are classes and etc - so there may be things in RDFS that OWL cannot handle "properly" -- open question - what do you say about these? 23:16:33 should we sanction the mixing or restrict it? 23:31:47 (several examples - photo will be taken for record) 23:34:48 Discussion of various programs with respect to how they treat various things 23:42:40 heflin has joined #webont 23:43:53 discussion of various tools and their needs, and use cases 23:44:01 miked - did you discuss Lbase? 23:44:34 Pat - yes, describes it (a proposal w/Guha to map RDF, RDFS, DAML into a common specification lang - FOL plus a bit of XML and a couple other nice things) 23:45:16 then each tool can map to that logic - provides an axiomatic semantics and to provide a way of relating content in the different languages 23:46:02 RDF Core will have a non-normative mapping into Lbase as part of their semantic document 23:46:50 document about Lbase will be a W3C NOTE 23:47:43 makes it clearer what the differences between the languages is and how to map them 23:51:18 pat -this wont fix the layering problems - they just come from needing to represent the same things in two languages 23:52:02 MikeD - should we do Lbase for OWL? Pat - sure, probably in same way as RDF Core (as an appendix to the MT) 23:53:07 Pat in fact, mapping to Lbase and creating a model theory are very similar -- a good way to be clear and to get the issues resolved 23:53:15 (but doesn't solve the issues necessarily) 23:54:00 JosD has joined #webont 23:57:57 ACTION: Pat will attempt to take abstract syntax, and Peter's MT and the mapping into RDF and will write a model theory in the Connolly style (i.e. as an extension to RDF MT) and see if he can identify the exact issues. 23:59:23 RRSAgent, show action items 23:59:23 I see 7 open action items: 23:59:23 ACTION: Guus will generate a structure in which the examples should appear by July 11 [1] 23:59:23 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2002/07/02-webont-irc#T19-26-53 23:59:23 ACTION: Jim will work with Dan to set up structure for this.
