Sorry, now I forgot my strawman! Too late on a Friday.. So say the user of an triple-order-preserving UI says: document prov:wasAttributedTo :alice, :charlie, :bob. .. And consider the order important because Bob didn't contribute as much to the document as Alice and Charlie. In that case the

This is what I meant in my earlier message when touching on collection. If the order of the resources (let's stick with foaf:Person) matter, then the property used should not have a range of (only) foaf:Person. So say One problem is that say in OWL you don't really have an easy way to type

If you don't like double housekeeping (most programmers know the pitfalls here), then using OWL or inference rules you can also infer attendance from the arrival events. Are most programmers who work for the Human Resources Department ignorant or just really scary ? It's Friday. Get thee to

So some thoughts here. OWL, so far as inference is concerned, is a failure and it is time to move on. It is like RDF/XML. As a way of documenting types and properties it is tolerable. If I write down something in production rules I can generally explain to an average joe what they mean. If
