That's cool stuff Kingsley. Seeing the two next to each other (with and w/out Umbel) makes it easy to see the value that Umbel adds.
Jason,
Yes, which is why I took an oath (with myself) last year to only demo or write about UMBEL when I have a simple high impact demo :-)
More to come. Happy New Year! Kingsley

Remember, UMBEL provides binding between the OpenCyc Upper Ontology and domain specific ontologies such as FOAF. Compare items 1&2 for an example of the effect of this Ontology "Meshup": 1. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person (no UMBEL inferencing enabled) 2. http://b3s.openlinksw.com/about/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxmlns.com%2Ffoaf%2F0.1%2FPerson&sid=177 <http://b3s.openlinksw.com/about/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxmlns.com%2Ffoaf%2F0.1%2FPerson&sid=177> (UMBEL inferencing enabled) Note the expanse of the FOAF vocabulary's graph courtesy of UMBEL linkage to other ontologies via Equivalence, Subclass, and other links (what Fred refers to as "domain explosion" in some of his blog posts).--Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen <http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/%7Ekidehen> President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
