Request for class-only subset of BFO2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I sent the following message to bfo-owl-devel, but it has not gone through yet. 
I am copying it here, because I am not sure which is a better place for the 
request.

On behalf of several members the OBO Foundry Operations Committee, I am writing 
to request an official release of a subset of BFO2 that contains only the 
classes. Discussions within the Operations Committee and with members of the 
OBO Foundry community indicate that many ontologies in the OBO Foundry Library 
are using or would like to use the classes from BFO2 rather than use BFO1.

The Operations Committee is not yet ready to make a decision on the use of the 
full BFO2 with temporalized relations, but in the mean time, many of us are 
concerned about incompatability of ontologies due to mixed use of classes from 
BFO1 and BFO2. We feel that an official subset release of just the classes from 
BFO2 would provide a viable solution to developers' immediate needs while also 
allowing additional time for the community to evaluate the temporalized 
relations in BFO2.

I already created a subset of BFO which only contains BFO classes using 
OntoFox, please see:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/obi/code/trunk/docs/developer/BFO%202%20slim/BFO_class
es.owl

Ramona has submitted the request for a BFO subset that contains only BFO 
classes on the behalf of OBO Foundry operation committee. Do you think the file 
I created fit their needs?
