Last Call Comment: SKOS in OWL 2

POSTPONED

SKOS

Description:
From Peter Patel-Schneider [1]:

I think that it would be very useful if there was a version of SKOS that
used OWL 2.  I understand that it is problematic for a recommendation to
point to something that is not (yet) a recommendation.  However, I think
that an informative document would be useful, even just a version of the
RDF/XML document that used the new OWL 2 features.  I think
that it would be even more useful to have this information in another
format, such as the OWL 2 reference syntax.

From Peter Patel-Schneider [2]:

The OWL WG believes that it would be very useful if there was a version
of SKOS that used OWL 2.  The WG understands that it is problematic for
a recommendation to point to something that is not (yet) a
recommendation and that further delay to SKOS is probably not warranted.
However, the OWL WG believes that publishing, at some point in the
future, a document (eg, a WG Note) describing how SKOS could be defined
in an OWL 2 environment would be useful. The OWL WG has produced an OWL
2 version of the SKOS specification and would be happy to help SKOS
experts in producing a descriptive note explaining how this OWL 2
ontology related to SKOS.  This note could be published as a joint WG
note of the two WGs.

2008-11-10: ACTION: Accept

2008-11-10: CHANGE-TYPE: Editorial

2008-11-10: The Turtle document is cited and referenced in Section 1.2. There are also brief explanations in Sections 1.7.3 and 9.5. Additional text has also been added to the end of Section 1.7. The Working Group propose to close this issue. I hope this is satisfactory

2008-11-10: COMMENTER-RESPONSE: Accept

2008-12-02: CHANGE-TYPE: None

2008-12-02: RESOLUTION: We note your comments that changes to the Recommendation at this point are not warranted. We do agree, however, that an OWL 2 version of SKOS would be useful, and would be happy to collaborate in producing a descriptive note along the lines suggested. As a consequence, we propose to *postpone* this issue.

2008-12-02: The CHANGE-TYPE annotation on 2008-11-10, the comment regarding turtle, and the COMMENTER-RESPONSE annotation on the same date actually refer to a different issue. As of 2008-12-02 there has not been an explicit commenter response to this issue (155).
