<mgberg> w3c/data-shapes#830

HolgerK: how to relate to OWL? We should take OWL-related tickets together. At least 3 tickets open now.

ajnelson-nist: We need some version management, but other OWL-related issues are independent.

mgberg: what should we say about OWL imports and how to handle conflicts.

owl: imports is reused because it solves already a lot of import problems.

<Zakim> AndyS, you wanted to say there is an implementation report incoming : w3c/data-shapes#854

AndyS: rules have a separate import. owl:imports not appropriate.
