I appreciate the effort of specifying the language as a DAML+OIL
ontology.

We chuckled on the phone about what an obscure mechanism it is
for communication in the group...
but I hope each of us has at his/her disposal some tools
that render DAML+OIL intelligible to us in some familiar
notation/interface.

My tool of choice barfed... so I submitted the attached
ontology to our new RDF validation service
  http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/
and I got:

Error: {E201} Syntax error when processing rdf:parseType. Cannot have
rdf:parseType in this context.[Line = 41, Column = 58]
Error: {E201} Syntax error when processing rdf:parseType. Cannot have
rdf:parseType in this context.[Line = 118, Column = 58]
Error: {E201} Syntax error when processing rdf:parseType. Cannot have

Error: {E201} Syntax error when processing rdf:parseType. Cannot have
rdf:parseType in this context.[Line = 354, Column = 58]

I'm in the process of fixing these errors... I'll share
the results when I have them.
