RE: XMI reality check

["Welsh, David" <David.Welsh@nordstrom.com>]

I've heard very good longer term experience story's about using RDF from the
publishing/library world, and I couldn't miss the almost religious sermons
from some @ the W3C on RDF as the way of the future Semantic Web. 
It would appear RDF offers the opportunity to encapsulate business process
models, during the analysis, design and 'record for posterity' stage in
business process life cycles. I take it then in the grander scheme of things
then, one could generate SpecSchema runtime XML from business process models
in RDF. Sounds like it could.
