No, but it provides a means of associating statements with 'analog' style
data.

Yep, but I reckon it's easier than you make it sound. Even if the OWL system
is only used for transport/routing of analog data, it's got a lot of
potential. Add a bit of rudimentary fuzzy logic and it should get fun.
Statistical systems can provide (real-)numerical data which can be
represented in OWL which can be pushed around & reasoned with in OWL terms,
pumped out as numerical data to external statistical analysis engines, the
results re-coded as RDF statements...
My bet would be on some melding of any of a number of

Quite.
