Evan,
I may be mistaken - but I have definately seen the clarification and
call-out text vis OWL-Lite strongly put in this context. Did it
not make it into the "Introduction" ?
That text exists if not and can be easily added - but I have a
feeling its there already...?
Thanks, DW

A profile like this is trying to capture
the metamodel of another
language in ebRIM. Thus profiles
should have more relaxed naming rules
then other ebRIM uses. In this
case, the use of "Has" as a prefix of
property is already somewhat
misleading. Properties are first class
entities in RDF/OWL.
I am not sure of the scope of the above suggestion.
The pattern
owl:XXXProperty seems to only apply to
specializations of property such
as FunctionalProperty. That
would be tolerable if undesirable. However,
application of
the "Has" prefix to subPropertyOf and subClassOf would result
in
very confusing names indeed. I would strongly object to such
names.

Yes. I
believe that I also asked for this in the earlier round of
reviews.
As I understand it, the reason for OWL lite only
support is that OWL Lite
reasoning can almost be simulated with an
ebRIM based repository and queries,
whereas the additional features
of OWL DL and OWL Full just to don't have any
analog in RIM.
This should, indeed, be explained in the
profile.
