Hi Kei,
Once an OWL ontology is published there are no typos! If one wants to
use the ontology, one must conform to the definitions.

or produce a new, backward compatible version which makes the change...
(or inform the author of the original to fix it in his next release)
One thing this does teach us is the importance of having the ontology
name space document be at a set URI - this packaging up OWL in zip
files is very harmful to the whole idea of the Seamntic Web, since the
"same" ontology in two different places is really two different
ontologies in actuality, since the URIs are difference. I've actually
suggested to some folks in the OWL community an easy fix for this, am
hoping it will get into one of the notes...

I think this are very good points, trying to identify (legal, technical,
and social) impediments to semantic web technologies. :-)
