I'm neither a philosopher nor logician, so forgive me if sounds naive:
how does the above "grammar" conflict with what (if I understand
correctly) you are calling the "syntactic web" - i.e. the Semantic Web
of the W3C initiative? (03)
Ok, there are certainly differences, like here: (04)
> <Ontological Framework> ::= <UFO> <Upper Level Ontologies> <Domain
> Ontologies> <EOL> (05)
The RDF/OWL view doesn't really make a distinction between Upper Level
Ontologies and Domain Ontologies, but it has been demonstrated that
ULOs can be expressed in RDF/OWL. (06)
...here: (07)

- only half of each of these are explicit in the layer cake, the rest
(I would suggest) being implicit parts of the system, e.g. the
Semantic Web being an extension of the current Web, the current Web
includes HTTP hence the SW includes HTTP. Both feature Users, Agents
etc. (011)
So it looks to me like your "real semantic web" is the same as the
W3C's Semantic Web, but for a few undocumented features in the latter.
Where's the problem? (012)
Cheers,
Danny. (013)
