Hi David

Think it's more like:
- they ARE 2 ontologies describing rdf resp. rdfs

Not meaning rdf or rdf IS A ontology.

(Think rdf/rdfs/owl stack is full of such entanglements incl. selfreference; 
actually quite nice)

Gr michel

Interesting and odd since the RDFS schema is by-defintiion not an OWL ontology 
since OWL concepts do not not exist in the RDFS-only world. Looking at it, I 
see that the RDF 1.1 spec only ever says the URI ending with # is a 
“namespace”. Nowhere does it say it’s an ontology, because that term is not 
defined in RDFS. At least the text is correct.

Note that by the OWL 2 spec this “error” has been fixed and if you dereference 
the OWL 2 URI (with or without the #) you get:

<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl> a owl:Ontology ;

Cheers,
David
