True as long as the issues of authoritative classification are resolved as well. Then the notion of subscribing to a classification service becomes more attractive. Credentials count. When dealing with a business, one qualifies the contenders. That is something the DAML+OIL language could be used for in a web service. len From: jborden@a...

Most of DAML+OIL's power comes from primitives for expressing classifications, as the race boards example illustrates. DAML+OIL provides a toolbox of class expressions, which bring the power of mathematical logic and set theory to the tricky and important task of mapping ontologies through classifications. ]] -- http://www.newarchitectmag.com/documents/s=2453/new102021 8556549/index.html This hits the nail on the head. Once something is properly classified, you can safely decide what you want to do with it. One of the important features of DAML+OIL => OWL is that ontologies may be decentralized and distributed. Just as the current Web allows anyone with an internet account to become a publisher, the semantic web will allow anyone to publish his or her classification. Once you realize the importance of classifications, this becomes quite valuable.
