Re: [xml-dev] UDDI, RDF, semweb?

 I *personally* (not speaking for my employer or the various W3C activities
I'm involved in)
 think that a forced wedding of the web services and semantic web activities

 If the semantic web would prove its practical value, suitors will be lining
up at its door
 rather than Papa TimBL having to round them up with his shotgun :~).
