Tom, In today's teleconference, you mentioned the benefit of being able to visualize the triples and referred to this presentation with RDF graphs as an example: http://dublincore.org/resources/training/NISO_Webinar_20100825/dcmi-webi nar-02.pdf The thing that bothers me about RDF graphs is that they give the impression that the model is completely ad hoc. Using the "Under the hood" slide, I create a UML class diagram variant that I think reveals this example's (implied) model more clearly (see the attached diagram). Another example can be found in my "Bridging OWL and UML" use case: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Use_Case_Bridging_OWL_and_UML# Application_of_linked_data_for_the_given_use_case I've started capturing as many OWL ontologies in UML as I can, which makes them very easy to work with.
