[Ogden] have you looked at roog?

[* William]

Hello folks ...

Does anyone know much about the pippin and roog framework for XML object graphs?

   *  http://pippin.rubyforge.org/

It looks interesting, and may be of future bearing for OG. 

Myself, I'm interested in taxonomies.  I don't think real people(tm) use "ontologies" ... A Duck is a duck, until you want to find "another thing that quacks".  An ontology can't do that (by definition) ... Nor as I understand it might a multiple inheritance framework.

Two taxonomies, CAN give me "duck calls" when I ask for "things that quack".

I'm interested in sensemaking, and I think lateral thinking can be a path to providing support for quacks!  Any comment is welcome.

aloha,
