The problem extends beyond changing the characters that make up the URIs in the ontology files. The problem is dealing with the impacts across other ontologies that import or refer to the re-URI'd resources, instance data, rule sets, and special-purpose application code. It's hard enough to deal with in a closed onto-ecology, nearly impossible in an open semantic web setting. If I publish OWL (RDF) on the web I don't know who else is referring to my resources. -- Pete Haglich Lockheed Martin Applied Technology Laboratories, ISX Laboratory Virginia Beach, VA Mobile (757) 572-5913
