Re: ANN: White Paper -"Using OWL to Avoid SyntacticRig or Mor


Re:  ANN: White Paper -"Using OWL to Avoid SyntacticRig or  Mor
I don't get this part of the thread. Semantics dont neccesarily have to 
do with syntax and vice versa. Semantics can be serialized in syntax 
and, as you seem to point out, syntax can be interpreted semantically 
even if it didn't meant to.

XML serializations of RDF based data do avoid one important syntactic 
trap. I mean, because their syntax and extensibility mechanisms are 
semantics-oriented, they are also uniform and thus predictable, offering 
the ability to say anything about anything without having to invent a 
new syntax (XML or other) for every new domain they need to describe.
