When the recursive fetching is computer, we apply RDFS + some owl reasoning (OWLIM being the final reasoner at the moment) and index it. Just out of interest, if you detect an inconsistency do you still index it? Not an expert at all but i believe the supported subset is not very prone to

While we could have countless arguments over the appropriateness of DL (or OWL 2) in the Web environment, the bottom line is whether or not owl:imports adds useful information - seems hard to see a problem with that, whether agents can reason or not. The follow your nose thing. What's the problem

Just a remark about what we're doing in Sindice, for all who want to be indexed properly by us. we recursively dereference the properties that are used thus trying to obtain a closure over the description of the properties that are used. We also consider OWL imports. When the recursive fetching

Hi Dan: I think Alan already gave examples this morning. An ontology can contain statements about the relationship between conceptual elements - classes, properties, individuals - that (1) influence the result to queries but (2) are not likely retrieved when you just dereference an element

Martin, partially you could solve the problem yourself by putting the owl:import triples in your ontology fragments e.g. the fragment, when served, says owl import so that you're sure the ontology is used as a whole.. would this do it? :-) fixing the problem in a single location might be so much

[snip] Yup, re owl:imports, I enthusiastically added it to the FOAF spec when some OWL WG insider suggested it was the right thing to use, and dutifully removed it when someone (I forget who in both cases - quite possibly same person!) a few years later told me it had fallen from fashion

Hi Dan, I'm afraid I don't completely follow the history of the discussion that Martin is raising, but the reason he has included me on the CC list is because during a chat at SemTech last week, he asked me what I thought about owl:imports. I said that I was actually using it in my RDFa
