RE: Describing networks using RDF

If you haven't already, you might try this:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14081/DCML%20CMDB%20Di
lemma%20and%20Alternatives%20-%202Q2005.zip

It contains a PowerPoint presentation. One of the slides towards the end
contains an embedded .PDF file that explains a little about the DCML OWL
ontology and provides some examples. That might be of some limited use.

Brian
