Re: A quick note to say we have been thinking along similar lines ...

Dan,

Nice to hear from folks doing similar work.  The URW3 XG grew out of  
the Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web (URSW) workshops that  
were held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web  
Conference (ISWC).  We decided to pursue the XG after the second  
workshop and part of the 4th workshop will be devoted to reviewing our  
results and discussing how to move the work forward.  The workshop Web  
site is at http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2008/ and the paper deadline has  
recently been extended to August 4.  This might be a perfect forum for  
presenting UncertML and looking for possibilities going forward.

Where can we find more about UncertML and the background on your work?
