What are the plans for OWL 2 support?
There is a JIRA for Adding OWL2 support to the Ontology API (JENA-80)
but it's not progressing and the branch mentioned has probably diverged
from the trunk in sufficiently that a restart+re-integrate changes is
easier.

Work on an Apache project comes from the community (AKA all of us), not
the committers (responsible for integrating contributions) nor PMC (for
formal committee with oversight responsibility) [1].
So to make progress, needs contributions, whether patches, review,
discussion, testing, feedback, .... It does not have to be the whole
thing - partial additions on the OntAPI to progress towards OWL2 are
just as valuable.
If you're interested in helping, pick an aspect that interests you, drop
in to the dev@ list if you want to discuss it, open a JIRA and send a patch.
(Jena chair mode off)
As someone who does not do much OWL-work, any technical contribution I
could make is probably of negative value, but I can help as a committer
to verify patches and generally help move things forward.
