Joachim what are your thoughts on OWL export of the object model? Where
would that be used?
I have to admit I am interested in something else, but have made no
progress, that of the possible use of Tapestry with OWL. Henry Story has the
story (excuse the pun). https://sommer.dev.java.net/sommer.html
It seems to me that if you have implemented the export of the object model
into OWL that is a step away from consuming OWL within Tapestry perhaps by
creating a pipeline?
Might this have some benefit? Henry Story discuses ActiveRDF extension to
Ruby where using RDF seems as natural as importing a package. I think it
would have benefits. Display data according to inferred type and so on.
What do you think?

>> - allow templates to define extra key-value pairs, possibly overwritten by

>> - fields named "Reference" or "Description" should automatically be marked

>> - generate UML and OWL from the domain model
>> - Improve xml reading/handling in domain model parsing code
>> - add selectors on proxies
>> - create archetype for empty equanda project
>> - tapestry5 accordion component
>> - tapestry5 tabs component
>> - tapestry5 FormTraversal component
>> - add equandaReset() method in proxies to revert the state to the database

>> - tapestry5 create "manifest" binding prefix
>> - Should allow a table type (in the inheritance tree) to be impossible to
