Tood - let me second what Dan said below and add one more thing -- please feel free to join the discussions on the ww-rdf-interest and www-rdf-logic mailing lists and let people know what you are doing and how you are using the Semantic Web technologies. There is a strong and collegial developer community out there, and we are doing all we can to encourage the sharing of ideas and products in the semantic web space. -Jim hendler At 16:39 -0600 2/19/04, Dan Connolly wrote: >Sorry for the delay in responding... > >On Tue, 2004-02-10 at 17:30, Todd Ellner wrote: >> Dear Sir, >> >> I am an engineer who spends most of his time designing ontologies and >> logics.
