That would be true. :) However, the concrete comments would be. Bear in mind it's quite late in the game, it would have been helpful to have your input with the others during webont. > I have no idea what possible use the RDF and OWL metamodels could be > put to. Boris put it very well in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Oct/0085.html where he says it is very useful to have a data storage specification for the language (his message would make quite a nice ad for OMG, actually!). It is important that such a storage specification be generally agreed if the stored ontologies are to be widely accessible. It isn't good for W3C and OMG to adopt different data storage specifications for OWL. Conrad
