[tmcl-wg] Any TMCL dependencies: OWL Maybe?

[Lars Marius Garshol]

| I think the RDF <-> TM mapping has per-se nothing to do with the OWL
| <-> TMCL mapping.

Did you read the paper? It shows that you can use such a mapping to do
an RDFS/OWL conversion to OSL (and so, by analogy, to TMCL). Also, it
shows that you can convert parts of OWL directly to topic maps.
 
| According to
| 
|    http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-semantics/
| 
| they are using Description Logic (DL) which is a subset of predicate
| logic: [...]

OWL has three parts: OWL Lite, OWL DL, and OWL Full. So there is a DL
part of OWL, but OWL is not DL only.
 
| I am not sure what Lars is here referring to. I guess he means
| operators to build classes from existing classes. If so, I fully
| agree.

Not just that. Read the paper, and you'll see.
