Beware: when you create new classes and properties using the GUI it writes out horribly verbose OWL. If you manually rewrite the OWL to tighten it up, the editor WILL try to preserve your tightened up code. Bottom line: use the text editor to create new classes and properties, use the GUI to view and make minor tweaks. > > 1.

Paul, could > you put Higgins0.5.6.owl at this URL? I have created a new higgins.owl (version 0.5.7). Here are the changes: - added copyright and EPL license - added NormalizedStringSimpleAttribute & normalizedStringSimpleValue - added Base64BinarySimpleAttribute & base64BinarySimpleValue - renamed *DatatypeAttribute to *SimpleAttribute and corresponding properties - renamed *ObjectAttribute to *ComplexAttribute and corresponding properties - added two new kinds of metadata lastVerifiedFromSource, lastVerifyAttempt - manual tightening up of the OWL code syntax Note: The renaming was to line up with Jim's API better. I have attached it to this email.
