Andrei, Thank you for the pointer. Very interesting indeed. I'm a bit confused as to the thrust of the Ubot project, and was hoping you could help me out. It would appear that the main goal is "to build a tool-set that supports: creation, extension and consistency checking of DAML ontologies [and] DAML annotation of information resources for agents". It seems that they are using UML as a tool to create DAML, to complement its use as a tool for describing software. The diagram you pointed to is intriguing (showing a UML (meta-?)model for software components), but I wasn't able to see how it fit in with the rest of the project's goals. Any thoughts?
