What a waste of ink. I've just had a quick look. While I'm a big admirer of Luc Steels' earlier work (http://arti.vub.ac.be/steels/2003.html etc) I have to agree that this looks like an exercise in strawmanism. The Semantic Web is most most definitely not an top-down system. GRDDL (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-grddl-20040413/) is one of many SW-related systems that emphasises the need to integrate existing pre-RDF data into a unified environment... Dan
