Is > it reasonable to ask them to clarify the relationship with RDF/OWL too? I spent some time talking with Max (cc:'d) earlier in the design. RDF was certainly considered. My understanding was that the need to attach probabilistic and other metadata at a per-property level, made usage of RDF unwieldy (rdf's current reification vocab is just no practical there). Max, perhaps you could expand? Is there a pointer to earlier RDF-ish designs somewhere? Dan
