Re: [regrep-semantic] [Q] Is there a need for Semantic ContentManagement Ontology

Carl,

I concur with the outlook - ultimately the BCM use case is the one
that is the most demanding and challenging on registry semantics.

However - the good news is we can build toward this
piece by piece.

I like the EPR project as a use case where BCM is being used
and there are strong semantic content management needs,
but at a level that is more attainable right out the gate here.
