Resolutions
  1. PRD will not address interop with RDF and OWL directly -- there is no work to do there. SWC will instead be updated to be phrased in terms of [safe] Core, so it can be (in most ways) inherited for PRD. link
  2. Close issue-82, given understandings in discussion so far today. Core as specialization of PRD is just work to do. Yes, safeness restriction will resolve backward chaining problem (action on Jos). Does Core compatibility with RDF+OWL extend to PRD? only to the extend that's automatic through Core link
  3. Close issue-48. membership (#) in Core facts and conditions. subclass (##) not in Core. link
  4. close issue-68 with no Named-Argument Uniterms (NAU) in Core or PRD. link
  5. Close issue-72 saying "No" (Option D). (Nothing like skolem functions in Core.) We regret we were unable to find a good design to address this need. link
  6. Close issue-33 with the understand that our mechanisms for accessing RDF and XML data sources, and using externals, will be sufficient. link
  7. Close issue-78. The only Externals in BLD (and Core, and PRD) will be Predicates and Functions. No external frames, no external equality, etc. link
  8. Close issue-69; there will be a Core schema, included in BLD and PRD schemas. see ACTION-692. link
  9. Close issue-46; no decision to make at this time. If someone produces a proposal for modules, we may consider it. link
  10. Add xsd:nonNegativeInteger, xsd:anyURI, xsd:hexBinary, xsd:base64Binary to RIF Core. In RIF, the xsd numeric types will have disjoint value spaces (as in XSD1.1, unlike current OWL 2 drafts)-- we'll push for OWL to change and assume they will. [The owl:* types will be decided separately. Value spaces of Binaries will be decided separately. When those are decided, it will close issue-81] link
  11. Add owl:real and owl:realPlus to RIF Core, BLD, PRD. link
  12. have dinner at Typhoon at 20:00 without Sandro ;) link
