Proposed Phase 2 Requirement: RIF must cover OWL [F2F3]

See the CSF topic \"Consistency with W3C specifications\" on the wiki:
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Critical_Factors_Analysis/Consistency_
with_W3C_specifications

Issues:
1. Phase 1 incorporated a Requirement to support OWL KBs as data (Req.
4.1.8, \"RIF must cover OWL knowledge bases as data where compatible with Phase
1 semantics.\").
2. Due to limitations on RIF Phase 1 semantics, F2F3 postponed consideration
of full coverage of OWL till Phase 2.
3. There are still open questions about what \"RIF covers* a language\" means
and what it commits the RIF to with respect to OWL. See topics raised in the
F2F3 discussion transcript:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2006Jun/att-0131/09-rif-
minutes-1.html#item3-05
4. Statements of this issue so far have not stated which of the three dialects
of OWL are to be covered.
5. The RIF WG Charter (3.2) Phase 2 Scope commits RIF to extensions to the
language, including \"Various fragments of OWL.\" It is left open for the WG to
determine which extensions potentially best serve users.

*See http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Design_Constraints/Terminology
for \"cover\"

Related notes:


It is possible that \"parts\" of OWL will be \"covered\" by RIF Phase I. THe WG
must make this determination by consensus, however it does not make sense to
think too hard about this until the phase I semantics is a bit more clear.
