If I understand what you mean .. that's what I though you meant. Thing is that every term in those (schema?) are automatically connected to whatever document you are reading or writing. That is, I believe, defined in the specifications of how the semantic web uses URI for properties. In other words you would not need to "turn on" these definitions, they are already there by definition. You can see this really easily if you download and install a sailor agent. First click the LoadDirectory button at the top of the screen, then read in any RDF document you see in the directory by clicking on the red ~read~> buttons, then go back and read in one the schema documents you mention above; for example <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema>; You will see that the definitions are atomatically collolated with your document ... they are, in your terms, already "turned on". But I'm still not sure that we are talking about the same thing. Are we? Seth Russell http://robustai.net/sailor/
