I haven't tested Protege beta 3.0 yet.  Since I have
very limited time to work on this, I plan to do only the
programming required to get the data from a SKIF file into
Protege in a form where it will be easier to view and comprehend
than in a bare KIF text file, while retaining all the logical information.
If it turns out that there are some important enhancements in Protege 3.0
that improve comprehensibility or closeness to the KIF model, that
would be a reason to modify the program.  But the programming
is not trivial (with respect to time required), and I don't want
to wind up in an infinite loop of making modifications just to
keep up with small changes in Protege, which occur every week or so.    (01)

    So, first 2.1 -- there is a real change from 1.9 that improves the
similarity to the KIF model, specifically, multiple parent types are
allowed for instances.  After that, I will look at 3.0.    (02)

    There is also the question of the Protege-OWL model, which is
another can of worms.  I am primarily interested in the content, not
the format of the representation, and need to concentrate on that.
If and when OWL really becomes a standard -- official or de facto -- I will
certainly want to accommodate that, but by that time it may look different
from its present form.  If I do any format-morphing into OWL, I will want
to do it once.    (03)

    Unless, of course, someone is willing to actually pay for the
effort. ;-)    (04)
