[Pellet-users] First W3C public working drafts for OWL 1.1 syntax, semantics, and rdf mapping

[Michael Smith]

Pellet users,

As I've written before, C&P aims to represent the Pellet user community
in the development and standardization process for OWL 1.1 - with
particular interest in making sure that Pellet's behavior is conformant
and interoperable.

By following the links provided in the W3 news announcement [1] or those
included below, you'll find the first public working drafts of the OWL
1.1 functional syntax [2], semantics [3], and rdf mapping documents [4].
These documents are very similar to the member submissions, but have
some changes.  Most notably, they include editor's notes with links to
unresolved issues, reflecting the state of WG activity.

We expect that the first public drafts of the tractable fragments and
xml syntax will follow soon.

One goal of publishing working drafts is to get feedback.  So, if your
are able and interested, please review the documents and comment on
issues that matter to you, either here, on public-owl-dev [5], or to me
directly.  For those interested in more of the WG activity, you'll find
the wiki at [6].
