But then, it is better to just add this missing property you're looking for (and actually, I'm thinking to add it in LODE) but I don't see the reason why you want to create new classes and properties for all the rest (event, location, etc.) Raphaël -- Raphaël Troncy EURECOM, Multimedia Communications Department 2229, route des Crêtes, 06560 Sophia Antipolis, France. e-mail: raphael.troncy@eurecom.fr & raphael.troncy@gmail.com Tel: +33 (0)4 - 9300 8242 Fax: +33 (0)4 - 9000 8200 Web: http://www.eurecom.fr/~troncy/
