And your point is that the *concept* of reification is correct? We distinctly avoided using the term because it was ambiguously defined; ie., that the various communities that use the term all have varying definitions of it. Being "correct in nature AND fundamental" is not the issue. Correct in nature and fundamental in what context? As has been pointed out, reification in XTM and in RDF are two different ideas. And reification according to Gabel ("False Consciousness: an essay on reification") is yet another. > I'm glad I've unsubscribed from this group; my prevous mistake was > assuming the group was worthwhile. > > Go create your grammer, I've got real big problems to tackle; now. Well, if you're going to be rude and unprofessional about it, then I guess we should be glad you're leaving, or going, or already gone. (oh, since we're being peevish, might you spell 'grammar' correctly, and use an adverb rather than an adjective? Swap comma for semicolon?) For the record (if this were in question), this group is comprised of some of the most highly-qualified people in the industry, and is on track for delivering an XTM specification faster than probably any other standards body (compared with ISO, the W3C, IETF, etc.) We've gone from a completed ISO 13250 specification to creating a new organization and delivering a completely new XTM 1.0 spec in about one year. That's lightning fast for a standards group, especially one that didn't exist a year ago. If you don't have the patience to wait around while we finish our work, that's really your problem, not ours. Go tackle your real big problems. Murray ...........................................................................
