Proposal: The principle is that when reading a r b, we get an english sentence, 
which is what  motivates the verb "is".  Include alternative  terms, with the 
verb, and without verb but with underscores instead of spaces.

This is now resolved, using the label form that includes the verb as the 
preferred label, in the latest working group version of BFO 2 in OWL.  

Is there any further action needed on this tracker?

Resolution is something that happens when the group makes a decision, not when 
an individual edits a particular version of a document.  As much as I like the 
proposal and this way of handling it, having proposed it, a review of the email 
trail shows there is not yet consensus about the matter. I suggest the issue be 
brought up at our upcoming meeting or subsequent one.

It is also misleading to suggest that there is a latest working group version 
of BFO2 in OWL. That is another unresolved issue, and the hope is that at our 
upcoming call we can work towards remedying that.
