I'm drafting an ontology, and have a few questions for the developer community:

1. How important is an OWL ontology versus an RDF schema (eg, the
Dublin Core scheme)?

2. If OWL is specifically desired, what flavor should be the target?
I'm inclined to dismiss OWL (full) out of hand.  DL has some support
(cf. http://jena.sourceforge.net/inference/#owl).  Lite will put some
severe constraints on what the schema can assert.

3. Should the schema describe only the core system relationships (see
http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/FCR30/Triples+in+the+Resource+Index
), or should it include the object properties with URIs in the
fedora-model namespace?  If the latter, should all the properties the
fcrepo code knows about be included  (see
http://fedora-commons.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fedora-commons/fedora/trunk/fcrepo-common/src/main/java/fedora/common/rdf/FedoraModelNamespace.java?view=log
)?  That would drag some datastream properties into the mix.

regards,
  Ben
