Subject: [LC response] To Andrew Eisenberg

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your comment
     <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2009May/0046.html>
on the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language last call drafts.

This was indeed an error in our document, which we have already acknowledged in our response to Michael Sperberg-McQueen:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2009May/0004.html

As a consequence, we have updated our specification; below is a diff reflecting our changes:

http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/index.php?title=InternationalizedStringSpec&diff=22854&oldid=22534

Please note that the link to this diff is the missing citation [2] from the original response.

We hope that this change addresses your concerns.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email to <mailto:public-owl-comments@w3.org> (replying to this email should suffice). In your acknowledgment please let us know whether or not you are satisfied with the working group's response to your comment.

Regards,
Boris Motik
on behalf of the W3C OWL Working Group

PLEASE TRY TO REPLY IN A WAY THAT WILL ALLOW THREADING TO WORK APPROPRIATELY, I.E., SO THAT YOUR REPLY CONTINUES THE THREAD STARTED BY THE ORIGINAL COMMENT EMAIL

On May 12, during a joint meeting of the XML Query WG and the XSL WG, we 
discussed both rdf:text: A Datatype for Internationalized Text and the 
comment submitted by Michael Sperberg-McQueen [1].

We share the concern raised in Michael's first comment, labeled "Typo in 
two namespace names?". In section 2, Preliminaries, of your specification, 
we see:
 
        - the prefix name fn: stands for 
http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions#

In our Functions and Operators [2], in section 1.2, Namespaces and 
Prefixes, we say:

The URIs of the namespaces and the default prefixes associated with them 
are:

    * http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema for constructors -- associated with 
xs.
    * http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions for functions -- associated 
with fn.
    * http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors -- associated with err.


                                                -- Andrew
