Making something like pub:name a subProperty of rdfs:label is essential for the Tabulator for example to know it can use names as labels in the UI. So please do it

I would suggest that Tabulator find a better way. E.g., something Fresnelish.

Let me see.

1. The RDF working group defines RDF and RDFS, including the useful utility properties rdfs:label, rdfs:comment, rdfs:seeAlso and rdfs:isDefinedBy.

2. RDF people start to use these properties in conformance with the specs.

3. While defining OWL-DL, the OWL WG introduces rather arbitrary restriction on all these properties.

4. OWL people ask RDF people to stop subclassing these properties in order to meet the restrictions imposed by OWL-DL.

This doesn't make any sense to me. The OWL WG blundered when they redeclared these properties as annotation properties.

[snip]
Presumably OWL DL systems can be built to ignore the rdfs:subClassOf fact when they do OWL-DL reasoning on the data.

+1. You broke it, you fix it.

Presumably Tabulator can be built to do something with property annotations.

Cheers,
