I have not seen that in the book yet. I also had trouble finding anything along these lines in a web search. I wonder where has this been documented so that a non-smenatic-web-insider would come across it? Every resource I find talks about RDF, RDFS, and OWL/lite,DL,full. What are the alternatives? “I am surprised that RDFS is still being used (except for certain relationships), let alone RDFS-Plus – mixing RDFS and OWL is not a good idea (this may be stated in the book).”

What are the alternatives?

I haven't read the book, but I am surprised that RDFS is still being used (except for certain relationships), let alone RDFS-Plus - mixing RDFS and OWL is not a good idea (this may be stated in the book). Unfortunately, FOAF still suffers from RDFS/OWL (making it OWL Full). Still takes a bit of searching to find the OWL DL version... Cheers, Rowland Hi Danny,

I haven’t read the book, but I am surprised that RDFS is still being used (except for certain relationships), let alone RDFS-Plus – mixing RDFS and OWL is not a good idea (this may be stated in the book). Unfortunately, FOAF still suffers from RDFS/OWL (making it OWL Full). Still takes a bit of searching to find the OWL DL version…

Cheers,
