Wow deep stuff!
I wonder what this subject has to do with computers?

A heck of a lot. I have been following this stuff over the past few
years. It has specific impact in areas like the semantic web. In a
sense, standards like ebXML are ontologies in their own right.

The OWL Web Ontology Language is being designed by the W3C Web
Ontology Working Group in order to provide a language that can be used
for applications that need to understand the content of information
instead of just understanding the human-readable presentation of
content. OWL facilitates greater machine readability of web content
than XML, RDF, and RDF-S support by providing a additional vocabulary
for term descriptions. This document provides an introduction to the
OWL language. It first describes a simpler version of the full OWL
language which is referred to as OWL Lite and then describes OWL by
addition to OWL Lite.

OWL marked up pages make it easier for indexers, categorizers and

to guess at what the web-colouring-in-monkey intended.
I also refer you to

and
www.opencyc.org/
to see some applications of other ontologies.

I agree. The problem is that MS with the lock on the Browser, has
basically *stopped* advances on the web. Until MS decides to include
things on IE, it has a huge chance of die in between.

I thought IE was already dead. It is going 2 b integrated with the
Windows OS.
Could that mean that the OS has a huge chance to die in between as well <g>

Sorry, I was not clear. There is nothing new on the browser, since late
1998. It is getting boring. These kinds of "plugins" or the like, until
integrated on IE, it does not anywhere.
If Mozilla would pass 1.5% of market share, it would help a bit.

Please take this to off-topic. It has nothing to do with Delphi.
Thank you,
