Going back to my aircraft example: <aircraft> <elevation>12000</elevation> </aircraft> Wouldn't it be useful to be able to find that the elevation element contains an integer that is restricted to the range 0-20000? Further, if the data model provided "aliases" then I might even be able to find that "aircraft" and "plane" are synonymous. Isn't this useful information? I have always thought that the more information that I have, the better decisions I can make in processing the data. A data model (whether the data model is an XML Schema, or an RDF Schema) provides me with additional data that would be useful in processing the data, yes? /Roger
