Subject: [OWL] Discussion of OWL 1.1 and next steps...
Message-ID: <5648EB0F-1DBB-4388-B808-92EECF48E33D@cs.man.ac.uk>

Hey folks,

One decision taken at OWLED2006 was to move forward with a member  
submission of the OWL 1.1 specs, and to try for a targeted working  
group at the W3C to formally standardize it all.

We also decided to move public discussion to <public-owl-dev at w3.org>,  
both to have wider visibility in and out of the W3C, but also because  
Mindswap is going away as a group, and while Jim Hendler is committed  
to maintaining the web space after he moves to RPI, it's polite to  
ease that transition by migrating none core bits.

Thanks to Christine Golbreich who reminded me to send this annouce :)

Also, I'm general chair of OWLED 2007. Christine and Aditya Kalyanpur  
are program committee chairs. The steering committee has change  
composition a bit, with two of last years PC chairs joining (Pascal  
and Bernardo).

Things are a bit hectic, but we'll get it all sorted. I plan a  
meeting report as I am sure there are others as well. Those will be  
sent (I hope) to both lists.

OWLED2007 will be colocated with *ESWC* this year, so there's quite a  
bit less time between them. The CFP etc. will be out shortly.

One point about discussion on mailing lists about OWL 1.1: There are  
a *lot* of interests, some somewhat conflicting, others only  
apparently conflicting. The mailing list can be a bit like the  
workshop! But that's part of the point, to get this stuff and various  
intentions out for wide discussion, to build consensus, to make sure  
we haven't overlooked anything, and to let people know what's going  
on. However, it can be frustrating, so I encourage people (especially  
me of the hot temper and acid pen :)) to strive to spread as much  
calm as possible.

Cheers,
Bijan.

Subject: [OWL] Discussion on OWL 1.1 now in public-owl-dev@w3.org
Message-ID: <456335F4.9030403@cs.man.ac.uk>

Hi all,

As we agreed at the OWL Workshop, the discussion on OWL 1.1 will now 
take place in the public W3C list:
public-owl-dev at w3.org  list. All the OWL 1.1 documents and the OWL 1.1 
website have now been updated to
reflect this. If you still haven't registered and you are interested in 
the ongoing discussion, please do so sooner rather
than later.

Regards,

Bernardo
