Evan,

OK.  I was not clear about OWL and the catalogue.

The use of OWL in this context is not to specify
the process details itself - but merely to classify,
and categorize the entries in the catalogue.

Right now the registry gives you the tree classification
structure - whereas OWL can capture more meaning
behind the business use cases etc of the entries.

This should be relatively straightforward (hopefully!).

Thanks, DW
