Re: [higgins-dev] Higgins 1.1 M2 release status - 13-June-08

I don't like the added complexity either, but it is good for another reason.
Today the Higgins "Context Data Model" is expressive enough to be able to
represent with minimal loss a wide range of data models that exist in the
wild. Without this flexibility, for example, it could not represent many
kinds of RDF-based data (e.g. from the semantic web, etc.).
