This is exactly what I have done with WRAF. And this is whay I say "strange OO" in the (very) short presentation: http://www.uxn.nu/wraf/ The goal is like skipping several generations of RDF applications and going for the "ultimate" thing. :-) Since I'm just today actualy have a working (bare bones) pre alfa version, I would like to tell a little more about this thing. Hold on. will now write somthing up and send it as a separate email. :-) -- / Jonas - http://jonas.liljegren.org/myself/en/index.html
