Yes, but it's not valid RDF because DanBri's original letter wasn't in RDF. To get it to work, you'd have to convert an entire letter/page/+ to data, spell check it, and then convert it back - i.e. as part of a specialized spell-checker, not an RDF processor. Having said that, I do like the ideas from Charles/Lisa about using RDF for spell checking, a thesaurus, a dictionary, etc. DanBri's Wordnet stuff is a good indicator of what RDF can do, and it would be very easy indeed to modify it to become a thesaurus or a dictionary. Since Dan is now an official unlurker on the list, maybe he can chip in :-) -- Kindest Regards, Sean B. Palmer @prefix : <http://webns.net/roughterms/> . [ :name "Sean B.
