The URL is: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ax2s-kmtn/internet/owl-features-20020729.html If you are interested, I also translated "Requirements" and the URL is: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ax2s-kmtn/internet/webont-req-20020708.html Best regards Deborah McGuinness wrote: >I would also like to thank you for your work on translation. >I would be interested in having a pointer to the final translated work so that >we may also pass it on to our japanese colleagues. > >thank you, >deborah > >Frank van Harmelen wrote: > > > >>Dear Shuji Kamitsuna, >> >>I will answer your concrete questions below.
