We're interested in using semantic web standards (RDF/OWL) on a .NET platform. There are many open-source packages that support the semantic web, but all the most advanced ones are written for Java (ie, HP's Jena). There are a few offerings for.NET, like Joshua Tauberer's SEMWEB, but none go beyond basic RDF to support ontologies and inferencing (that's the OWL part). So, I wonder if Microsoft is planning on pushing ahead in this area? Thanks, Indika Deyalage MCTS
