It occurs to me that it should to possible to create an application that 
talks OWL in one direction and CnxLanguage in the other. But that might 
be like breaking your arm to scratch your back.    (02)

While expensive, such an application might be useful in providing a 
migration path between semantic systems and AI-NLP systems. Clearly 
there are attractive features of Bayesian systems that could be 
useful...if they could be integrated or designed to make use of semantic 
information and knowledge.    (03)
