Looks very interesting, and I have come across the work of the team who is implementing it previously (they wrote a very good paper on some model adjustments for text classification). However, they note that the software is only at the early alpha stage, and large parts of doesn't operate on Linux or Mac OS X yet. Perhaps you could remind us about it on this list from time to time? Worth keeping an eye on, as the semantic web stuff moves forward. -- Tim C PGP/GnuPG Key 1024D/EAF993D0 available from keyservers everywhere or at http://members.optushome.com.au/tchur/pubkey.asc Key fingerprint = 8C22 BF76 33BA B3B5 1D5B EB37 7891 46A9 EAF9 93D0
