Just for documentation, anybody: WHY do we need *conceptual* models? (not how as in UML or IDEF methodologies) Perry is right. XML Doesn't Care. XML Doesn't Know. Care and knowledge are in the application processor. It is a local network node with layers of interpretation above and below it. IMO, we need it to make notions like the semantic web work reliably. Long before the machines process machine processable descriptions, humans have to agree on what those descriptions mean. What is the relationship of the conceptual model to the ontology? Or the schema to RDF? Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta. Dayadhvam.h
