the Protege OWL tutorial will be updated "real soon now". We'll be doing OWL 1..1 (there wasn't any point updating before 1.1), but also including stuff about data type properties (which can now be reasoned over well) and some stuff about instances. finally, there's a whole lot of Protege stuff to change.... I wouldn't, however, hold your breath. Perhaps it will be ready early next year. robert.At 18:45 27/10/2006, William Bug wrote: >This is a very important point.
