Re: Response to your LC Comment -2404 on Media Ontology spec

Thierry, all,

obviously, I am happy with the answer and the direction the group plans to take on this matter. That being said, I have not looked into the OWL ontology itself, I am not sure when you consider it final enough and whether I would have the time to do that in the coming weeks. But I would hope that the group has enough OWL expertise to do that, i.e., you do not need me for that.

Thanks

Sincerely

Ivan
