The RDF and the Warwick Framework have addressed most of the concepts and concerns that Ron and I had when we talked about them.

I really think the 'net needs Compuserve's "go <keyword>" equivalent. That would make a very good URI. -MM -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Mealling | 505 Huntmar Park Drive | Phone: (703)742-0400 Software Engineer | Herndon, VA 22070 | Fax: (703)742-9552 Network Solutions | <URL:http://www.netsol.com> | michaelm@rwhois.net
