What I see happening here (which may be different from what's actually happening) is that "lite" may be a euphemism for the older, "Phase 1", "Phase 2" lingo of years ago. Phase 1 is where we built what we thought the customer wanted, and Phase 2 is where we tossed all the tough, ugly stuff once we finally knew what the customer really wanted. There is value in iterative development to gain learning experiences with new complexity. I assumed this was the intent behind OWL-lite - to get something CORE up and running. I share similar concerns along the lines of Dan's in having two, distinct languages. Language subsets, when officiated, tend to take on lives of there own and run unintended risks of future divergence, as well as confusion & resource issues. Before I get too wrapped-up on OWL language labels, I want to understand the exact intent behind the different names and see that intent clearly, if not painfully defined. -- Stanton Department of DefenseReceived on Thursday, 11 July 2002 10:16:51 GMT
