Re: Fwd: OWL Test Cases and Species Validation

Mike/Bijan - thanks for the mail - I've taken the liberty of sending 
it to the webont WG mailing list [1] and asking the WG to make sure 
we get an answer.  I'll let you know here if we come to a conclusion 
and, of course, our archive is open to the public if you want to 
track it
