Re: [regrep-semantic] MetaMatrix and ebXML Registry

["David RR Webber" <david@drrw.info>]

Joe,

Ralph is drinking the BCM Kool-Aid -  he has a full set
of BCM posters taped up the walkway wall in his studio!

But on the SCM side - Ralph knows rather more about
semantics, RDF, OWL, triple-stores and Prolog than the
average XML head - as you about to find out
Wednesday no doubt.... ; -)

Should be a great session.

Cheers, DW.
