It seems to me that some very lofty ideas are nearly come to earth. I'm happy to find snippets like this (quoted in David Steinberg's comment to "Kicking out the Cukoo")
from Web Service Description Requirements -
W3C Working Draft 29 April 2002
section 4 requirements
4.12 Mapping to the Semantic Web
R070 "The WG specification(s) MUST allow
providing a mapping from the description
language to [RDF].
This, I hope, justifies using "foundational" in the following:
"This ontology vocabulary or ontology
language corresponds to the foundational
stratum of Tim Berners-Lee's Web
Architecture layer cake diagram [...] a
formal schema [...] allows for the "explicit
representation of term vocabularies and the
relationships between entities in these
vocabularies".
