Hm. Two comments with my different hats:-)
- Activity lead hat on, staff contact hat down: This is interesting,
important, and even necessary work in my view. It should be done at some
point (I already had this discussion with Sandro) because I am not sure
we have a good story from RIF to really do RDF+Rules. And that is bad in
my view.
- Activity lead hat down, staff contact hat on: This is probably out of
scope for this Working Group and probably something time will not permit:-(
