Subject: Re: [regrep] linkage between schemas, ontologies,taxonomies and data dictionaries,


I want to show you guys the demo I did for the GoC.  I think I can get 
permission to share it but the data element XML serialization we made 
supports UDEF UUID's and ebXML Registry.  You could substitutee out 
lightweight Assembly stuff for CAM and the demo is done.
