David,

I couldn't disagree more.  I think that this feels like '94.  I remember
reading the first press release on a "graphical internet browser" called
Mosaic. I remember sessions at Uniforum on "HTML" and hearing about the
"Hotdog HTML editor."  Now, 2004 we're talking about Protégé and OWL.  

IMHO, it's almost time to start taking to the mattresses.

Ever thought you were rowing your canoe up against the current?

Of course the solution to the problems detailed here are
all contained in OWL - and not letting humans enter any of
this themselves - but have machines do it all for them!?!

Anyway - personally I'm sticking to my simple noun 
dictionary use case for now!  ; -)
