Re: [apps-discuss] request for review: draft-bvandervalk-sadi-00.txt (individual submission)

[Tim Bray <[e-mail]>]

My feeling is that this draft would not be a good investment of IETF
time.  The adoption RDF and OWL is moderate at best, and to the extent
that this sort of highly semantic business-oriented thing needs
standards-group attention, it probably doesn't need the IETF's.  -Tim
