[Oslc-communications] OSLC ontologies (OWL)

The OSLC name-spaces like http://open-services.net/ns/am# or 
http://open-services.net/ns/core# do not have a formal ontology such as in 
the OWL specifications..
Rather, these URLs lead to the specification html page for these 
name-spaces.

That is fine for people, yet it seems to me that as a formal name-space, 
these URLs should actually contain the OWL rdf document.
For example and comparison, see the dcterms URL (http://purl.org/dc/terms/
). 
That will allow one to create new ontologies extending the OSLC ones using 
OWL editing tools such as Protege.

How does this idea fits into the OSLC formal specifications plans? 

Thanks,
- Uri
