[seek-kr-sms] growl: owl-dl or owl full?!

Sometimes less can be more (don't try to axiomatize this sentence ;-)

Specifically, restricting an editor to allow only certain constructs
(such as OWL-DL) can be advantageous since you then can say what you
are able to do with the ontologies (here: reasoning about concept
inclusion, for example). 

A stronger language such as OWL-Full (or just FO or Datalog
constraints) are also OK, as long as you don't try to use them for
reasoning but instead just for constraint checking.
