I'm confused Jeremy - we saw ample examples of implementation of OWL tools at the f2f, and I'm still not sure what features of Lite you believe are unimplemented. I asked several times at the f2f for people to bring up things they think are as yet unimplemented but needed for moving to PR, and very few were mentioned - my lab took two actions to produce some of this. You brought up none and volunteered none. I have been drafting some starts at the implementation experience, and I don't see any major holes -- please identify any you have so we can start to fill them -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
