Many thanks, Sheila. BTW, what's the state of the DAML-S editor you mentioned in an earlier thread?

The profile should have conditional inputs and outputs as well. It just hasn't been added to the release that is posted. > With many thanks > > Manooch Azmoodeh > > > Intelligent Systems Lab, > BT Exact Technologies, > Adastral Park. > > 01473 630594/605484 (phone) > 01473 642459 (fax) Sheila McIlraith ============================================================================ == Sheila McIlraith, PhD Phone: 650-723-7932 Research Scientist Fax: 650-725-5850 Knowledge Systems Lab Department of Computer Science Gates Sciences Building, 2A-248 http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/sam Stanford University E-mail sam@ksl.stanford.edu Stanford, CA 94305-9020
