well that didn't work - here's a try with a different setting At 12:25 PM -0500 1/15/07, Jim Hendler wrote: I'm trying to fix my mail app for quoting as per Kendall's request below. Since it only happens when I reply to groups, I apologize for having to put this in everyone's group mail, but I'll try to minimize and I've tagged it [mail app fix] so that everyone but me (and maybe Kendall) can ignore it.

What is a mistake is for the group to take it on and do it on purely theoretical grounds - all we'll end up with another travesty like OWL Lite Does this look better? Jim, 1. Can you fix yr mail app so that it quotes other people's text properly? I'm interested in following this conversation, but it's kinda hard when all the voices blur together. this is a comment from Hendler inlined 2. For my money (uh, literally!), DL-Lite and EL++ (and RDFS, in a different way) are already strongly and explicitly motivated by real world considerations. (And, FWIW, the existing TF doc *does*, inline, offer some 'real world' motivations for, say, EL++ and DL-Lite. These can be strengthened and should be.)

I'm interested in following this conversation, but it's kinda hard when all the voices blur together. back to Jim's comments My new company is interested in the TF stuff specifically so that we can build a product around it, and take that product into the federal market. Perhaps playing the Expressivity Game against Oracle and IBM is a losing battle, but we don't know that (yet), and having a standards doc will help make that market, if it's going to be made at all. a quote from a web page A Converter to RDF is a tool which converts application data from an application-specific format into RDF for use with RDF tools and integration with other data.Converters may be part of a one-time migration effort, or part of a running system which provides a semantic web view of a given application. See also: ConverterFromRdf so we'll see if that is better Again, apologies for wasting W3C resource, but since Kendall asked on this list, I figured it was best place to try to fix it. -JH -- Prof James Hendler hendler@cs.rpi.edu Tetherless World Constellation Chair http://www.cs.umd.edu/~hendler Computer Science Dept 301-405-2696 (work) Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst 301-405-6707 (Fax) Troy, NY 12180 -- Prof James Hendler hendler@cs.rpi.edu Tetherless World Constellation Chair http://www.cs.umd.edu/~hendler Computer Science Dept 301-405-2696 (work) Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst 301-405-6707 (Fax) Troy, NY 12180
