Hi Walter,

Thanks for this, I had already visited the above web pages.

You are right, I recognise that RDF could be used to represent some
aspects of CCG. The reason I did not include RDF in my description of
the nearest prior art in my patent application:
   "http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dudmills/CCGpatent.html"
is that it the RDF spec was published after my patent priority date of
1997/Feb/21 and therefore my patent may incorporate at least portions of
it.

Kind regards,
