Proposed Edited Recommendations published for OWL 2

The OWL Working Group has published twelve Proposed Edited Recommendations today, and two Working Group Notes. The main reason for the publication of an edited version is the fact that the "XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1, Part 2: Datatypes" has been recently published as a Recommendation. With the publication of XSD 1.1, the elements of OWL 2 which are based on XSD 1.1 are now considered required. Also, minor typographical errors and incorporation of editorial errata from the official OWL2 errata page have also been included.

Comments on the Proposed Edited Recommendations are welcome through 15 November. The documents are:

• OWL 2 Web Ontology Language Document Overview.
• OWL 2 Web Ontology Language Structural Specification and Functional-Style Syntax.
• OWL 2 Web Ontology Language Mapping to RDF Graphs.
