This file is also under Amaya/config/ Some further clarification: Amaya does not yet dynamically load RDF schemas from the Web. It loads only the schemas listed in Amaya/config/annot.schemas (SMOC - small matter of coding). But Amaya will load schemas from the Web if annot.schemas tells it to do so. For the two namespaces http://www.w3.org/2000/10/annotation-ns# and http://www.w3.org/2000/10/annotationType# we cache a local copy of the schemas. These are the first two files Jose is referring to. It is legitimate to cache a copy of an RDF Schema as http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-rdf-schema-20000327 says that once you publish a namespace name you should not change the contents of the namespace. >I add the following line to the end of annot.schemas: > >http://www.w3.org/2001/05/MyTypes# $THOTDIR/config/mytypes.rdf > >Then I'll add a new annotation type called "kudos" in mytypes.rdf: note that, per the comments in annot.schemas, if you just put http://www.w3.org/2001/05/MyTypes# (without a second field) into that file then Amaya will attempt to read the schema from the Web. -Ralph
