I couldn't have said it more clear than this. Thanks for the formulation. One note: You remark: "But some of us are concerned about the lack of understanding in the xml community" is a bit too much from the rdf/owl camp :) The XML people we talk too understand rdf and owl quite well and have often no lack of understanding...for most of them plain xml stuff is simply more mainstream and of more commercial interest given their time frame.

No. Providing the users of TBC with a function to export and import OWL/XML has absolutely no impact of the use and benefit of XML/RDF. None whatsoever. I'm sure that all users of TBC will continue to work with all the 'proper' semantic tools. That is the reason we have invested money in this product. But some of us are concerned about the lack of understanding in the xml community and we want to reach out and bridge that unfortunate gap. We see OWL/XML as a very good way to do just that. This should not be a debate about whether or not OWL/XML is better than XML/RDF. This is a request for a much need function (for some of us) that is finally within reach. I hope that TopQuadrant will be willing to help with this. Regards, Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TopBraid Composer Users" group.
