I am not claiming that RDDL solves this problem by itself. What RDDL enables is a mechanism for the namespace author to *list* multiple ontologies, XML Schemas, etc., in a labelled fashion, so that a knowledgeable agent might decide which ontology, schema etc to use. That is really it. > I fully appreciate what RDDL tries to provide.

RDDL is simply designed to allow an author to label a bunch of resources with attributes named purpose and nature. > (b) can be retrofitted successfully > and broadly onto a web that does not use namespace name URIs to > identify namespace documents. RDDL allows anyone anywhere to type a namespace URI into any browser and get back a document which describes a namespace. Jonathan
