Is it reasonable to create an eg:Person subclass of vCard:VCard?—@JeniT

@JeniT, I find it easiest to think in terms of sets, baby Venn diagram stuff - rdfs:subClassOf means a little circle inside a bigger circle—@danja

@danja I'm asking about the semantics. vCard:VCard has properties like name, address and workEmail; that implies one can be a Person to me.—@JeniT

@JeniT In the case of vCard, those are properties of a *card* not a person.—@ndw

Watching the beginning of the debate at the gym. Yes they have TVs on the cardio machines. http://twitpic.com/f2s6—@ebruchez

@ebruchez That's one way to raise your blood pressure, I guess.—@ndw

Okay, well maybe he is answering it.—@plasticbagUK

@plasticbagUK When pols reach a certain stature, their parties have their "straight answer to a question" gland removed surgically—@ndw

First draft of talk finally finished. Fear it's not long enough. Fear even more that it sucks. Beer and politics to cheer me up?—@ndw

Terris a year ago: If the Republicans think they will lose, they'll burn Wall Street just like Russia did to Hitler & be back 4 years later—@terrisCA

@terrisca That's an interesting observation re: Wall Street—@ndw
