I believe I see your point, but I may be talking cross-purposes. This is key to help me understand your perspective:
<We see OWL/XML as a very good way to do just that.> How does OWL/XML do this where RDF/XML does not? <This should not be a debate about whether or not OWL/XML is better than XML/RDF.> Agreed. <I hope that TopQuadrant will be willing to help with this.> We are considering this. Currently we have no current plans to support non-RDF serializations. To the extent that XML/OWL does not contradict this, we are good. It needs further investigation. The (continued) feedback and requests are always appreciated. -- Scott On Nov 18, 9:58 am, Peter Bruhn Andersen <[email protected]> wrote: > Scott, I feel that you are missing the point. > > Scott Henninger wrote: > > <So the question is now: is OWL/XML not better/simpler/moredirect for > > this purpose than XML/RDF (as you suggest).> > > > Maybe, it is a question for open investigation.
