RE: RE : Commercial UAProf 2.0 validation tools

Art, Kimmo

Yes I intend to support datatyping and UAProf 2.0 in DELI.

The last release of DELI incorporated Jena 2 which supports the RDF data
typing. So the changes necessary in DELI to use this information should be
minor. However I cannot commit to a release date at present.

You may also wish to ask JSR-188 implementors as this API also implements
UAProf validation - see http://web1.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=188

DELI is open-source, so code submissions for UAProf 2.0 support are welcome.

best regards
