danbri_: Spotted on topicmapmail list.
 
danbri_: Attempts to use OWL/RDFS to describe various thingies and relationships of interest to webarch/TAG folk.

danbri_: Nearishby, notes on log:uri from SW tutorial.
DanC_RSW: hmm... I don't know everybody here. Guus is writing on a whiteboard, but I'm not sure what the expectations are about records

DanC_RSW: ARGH! papers aren't world-readable via HTTP
DanC_RSW: "Problems" slide says RDF, RDFS, DAML have 'different design methodologies' and that this is a problem. Sigh! RDF is a coherent design methodolgy.
danbri_: There are a couple of different design methodologies co-existing in OWL though...
DanC_RSW: "Solutions" translate description formats and query languages to Executable Notation.
DanC_RSW: stipulated, OWL DL abstract syntax is a different design methodology
