Not quite. I see that Python-Seth depends on Java (and even JPype, which I believe is not supported any more -- although I did like the concept of it!). My code is pure Python and depends only on rdflib (<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rdflib/2.4.0>). > Such a knowledge framework could be achieved with pythonOCC; > your work could also, I think, easily be merged.

Since you are working with AP239, you are probably already aware that the EuroSTEP folks who are developing AP239 are involved in developing related ontologies also. Some other people in the STEP community, such as Lothar Klein (LKSoft), are also working on STEP-related ontologies. > Once this global architecture is defined, the difficult work > begins: how to model the knowledge in terms of an ontology? > At his point, we fall in the well-known separation dealing > with the technical and semantic issues related to a software > implementation.

I am glad we have such common interests!
