Hi Charles

thanks for the hint. Lets compare both projects.

SOFA (Simple Ontology Framework API)
http://sofa.projects.semwebcentral.org/
Latest Release: 2005-03-09 

vs.

SOFA (Simulation Open Framework Architecture) 
http://www.sofa-framework.org/
Latest Release: 2008-08-12


I prefer the name sofa-framework for the "Simulation Open Framework
Architecture" source package. A quick google search for "sofa +
framework" confirms the name selection.

Do you agree with me?

Kind regards
Dominique
