All - it is clear that between us we have a lot of background and experience in many areas impinging on semantics, and while free ranging discussion is informative (and fun) it doesn't really help us advance towards our goals. I don't want to stop the discourse in anyway, but let me suggest that targeting it towards our issues (and the test cases that go with them) seems to be our best chance for getting consensus on these complex matters. Ian's message was a good example - he proposed that the classes as instances distinction had impact on the semantics decisions in various ways. Please try to keep your conversation focused on the open issues in the issues list - virtually all of the current open ones are related to semantic discussion. Also, proposals for how to RESOLVE issues are especially sought after - remember, we don't get published till that list has everything in the Closed or postponed category... -JH -- Professor James Hendler hendler@cs.umd.edu Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 240-731-3822 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler
