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, (moving this to LOD public as suggested) Thanks. General note: I am quite unhappy with a general movement in parts of the LOD community to clash with the OWL world even when that is absolutely unnecessary. It is just a bad engineering practice to break with existing standards

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
